Sadly the ones outside Vegas are about to shut down because they are not profitable https://live-ier.pantheonsite.io/big-green/california-shuts-down-its-solar-thermal-plant-13-years-early/
I love how fucking biased that article is. It mentions Obama like 10 times, including this gem:
Thanks for the hindsight, moron writer guy. So what's trump doing, investing in better renewables?
No, instead of building an underperforming power plant, he spent the same money just to prevent a power plant from being built.
Money for nothing and the chicks for free amirite.
I thought it was chips for free until my late twenties.
When I was 7-8 (when the song was popular) I thought it was checks (cheques) for free. So I thought it wand money and checks (also money to a 7 y/o back when people paid with them at grocery stores still).
Didn’t realize it was chicks until the 90s when I became interested in chicks.
