Description
Description | The Ivanpah Solar Power Plant is a solar thermal facility built with taxpayer support in the Mojave Desert near the California–Nevada border. It uses thousands of mirrors to focus sunlight onto three central towers to generate electricity. The plant was approved during the Obama-era push to expand renewable energy and received a $539 million federal grant and a $1.6 billion loan for construction. Despite being hailed as clean energy, the plant relies on natural gas for startup and kills thousands of birds annually due to its concentrated solar beams. The project remains in compliance with environmental regulations and continues operating without fines or enforcement actions. |
