Barry, is he really that stupid? Or, is he really able to come up with so many planes to kill everyone off?
Tonopah’s 110-megawatt plant in the desert was billed as the first to be able to store solar energy. But its technology, which uses more than 10,000 mirrors to focus the sun’s heat on a tower to create steam, was both unreliable and expensive.
The plant had been selling power at $139 per megawatt-hour, the company said. Solar energy contracts for large photovoltaic projects today are generally below $30 per MWh.
Tonopah is owned by SolarReserve, the startup that developed the plant; Cobra Energy Investments LLC, a division of Spanish infrastructure company ACS; and Banco Santander SA, according to court papers.
Is this correct?
Barry borrowed money from China.
Barry then gave it away to some foreign companies to build a giant kettle in the desert.
These unknown people pocketed $225million when it was all over with bankruptcy and other scams.
Same problem with state line solar project california/nevada. California side. Never worked and used natural gas as generation source. Mirrors for the solar part never did the job, the collector towers caught fire, many endangered birdies killed in a flash, and the project had to -re structure-their fuel payments. It IS a huge mess.
A lie a sham , I work in solar for "reasons". I been on the solar utility fields, commercial, and residential. It's all a scam. Utility scale has a huge failure rate or underperformance, commercial gets the tax break and the feel good -the customer pays more. Residential 30k for 6k watts takes 20 years to pay down. The panels are HUGELY toxic to make- that's why Chy-naa. And guess what we continue to pay for all of it.
your right, all the commercial solar plant schemes are scams, be it subsidies, tax scams, or straight up corruption.
Solar PV works, but it's costs are still marginal at best, that said, given time, for new-build, it's a good idea (as in new build houses - you have to pay to put a roof on them in the first place, so make it a solar roof).
In time, the economics will change, but at the moment it's all about the subsidies.
Yep, and anyone that works in that industry saw it coming in Tonopah. They tried fixing it before if broke but bad mirror tracking still fucked up the salt tower.

He was that stupid. And his handlers were that corrupt and hated this country that much.
Like, with a magic wand?
these are the same people that bilked the EU to build two of these plants in Spain.
they look fantastic on a film set, but simply is stupid tech that's expensive, a maintenance nightmare and ultimately not practical.

We should get the rest from Barry's pocket. After all, that's where a lot of graft ended up.
There were a large number of scam solar businesses during obamas pres
