Ivanpah is projected to generate electricity for 249 days each year due to cloud cover, desert windstorms, nighttime and other constraints. Ivanpah morphs into gas solar hybrid […]

Solar is not the answer. Not yet and not for along time.

I have alot of data to support this but it isn’t worth putting up here again and again with no one in CA paying any attention to the Dems’ constant mistakes with our future and our money.
