I love it because it is a totally cool engineering marvel and a triumph of technology.
I hate because it is an expensive, ill conceived project that was doomed from the start because it never could perform it's intended goal of commercial grade large scale solar power generation.
It's a huge technological white elephant that kills birds by burning them out of sky like a death ray and it never should have been built in the first place.
It was built because it was intended to be a no risk, inside job project paid for with taxpayer money given for free to Obama Cronies and made profitable by corresponding government purchase contracts at what should have guaranteed a constant operating profit to the Obama Cronies on the power plant Obama paid them build with no out of pocket money on the part of the crony “investors”
Now the project is performing so badly the investors want the government to bail them out of the investment they never paid for in the first place
Welcome to life in Obama’s Banana Republic
My wife and I have driven by the plant several times and we agree with everything you say.
It is amazing to look at and what’s even more startling is the haze that is created at the towers when all of the mirrors are pointed at the towers.
