birds ate it
deer used it for salt lick
Did anyone try cooking turkeys with it? LOL
Turkey has to fly into the beam to be cooked!
A huge turn-a-round coming! You can take that to the roulette table.
How many Crescent Dunes executives fot out with over a Million?
Also was any of that money laundered through the Ukraine? (being an energy outfit and all)
110-megawatts powering 43,000 homes. That’s 2,500 kW per house. Don’t you dare use two hair driers at the same time. And don’t EVER use the electric stove and microwave at the same time. Lastly, curtail your FR time.
In 2018, the average annual electricity consumption for a U.S. residential utility customer was 10,972 kWh. There are 8,760 hours in a year, so that’s 1.25 kW around the clock. It looks like they took that 1.25 and doubled it to get 2,500 kW per house.
If you assume people are awake and at home 1/3 of the day; you need 3.75 kWh per average home.
Even if that power plant had worked as conceived, it was not going to power 43,000 homes.
My daughter and I drove by a solar tower power plant in Spain some years ago. When the sun was shining on it, it was very hard to look at even from a great distance away. It was like a small chunk of the sun had fallen to earth.
Yes, different place, diffeent plant.
Same result. Government money to democrat-connected politician’s families, democrat unions, democrat donor businesses
did anyone try a trebuchet?
Ayn Rand lives.
Me too...waaay back in the mid 70s.
Shoot NV is my planned retirement state now I learn theyre buying into all this green crap?
Shoddy construction doomed the plant.
Only the liberal enclaves of Reno, LV, and Carson City* (*Trending that way as it grows).
The rest of the state is still sane, but like IL, NY and several other states the sane population is becoming powerless in the face of the lunatic left.
We have seventeen counties but have been dominated by One, Clark County (LV).
Now Washoe (Reno) is also going nuts pretty consistently.
If you do come to Nevada, try to shore up one of our sane rural counties.
Went by that place a few times going up to Ore a couple years ago.
Can see that thing for mails. One big glowing ball. Extremely white. I thought, WTF is that? The first time I went that way.
I got pics someplace of it.
Miles..
Well we came here in 2011 thinking we were pretty safe. To invested to leave now. Dem controlled house with super majority and only 1 or 2 seats short of a super majority in the senate. Fidiot dem gov and most of the higher offices in the state. Clark county (vegas) and Washoe county (Reno) are the most populated so if the libs get the votes in those two, which they do, the rest of state gets shafted. Sorry to give you the bad side. It is beautiful though. Still no state income tax but you can bet they’re working on it.
Regular old photovoltaic panels work fine. 50 years. No moving parts
Just sayin
