“70,000 household at a price tag of $1 BILLION. Anyone see the problem here?”
$14,286 per household is kinda high considering it will have to be replaced on a regular basis as they break and wear down.
Based on a $200 a month payment for electricity, each houshold would pay $72,000 over 30 years.
$200 a month might be low in Arizona.
Mirrors don’t really break down that often, unless they have some freak hailstorm of monumental proportions and can’t turn the mirrors to protect them.

Ammortized over 20 years it isn’t bad ,, especially as the plant will need fuel only to keep the water boiling at night,, this is a huge black (ceramic?) boiler in the center of a field of mirrors ,, nothing to be replaced at a regular basis,, just Juan with a dustrag to keep the reflected heat from falling off.
