Mojave Mirrors: World's Largest Solar Energy Ready to Shine

Mojave Mirrors: World's Largest Solar Energy Ready to Shine: "The Ivanpah Valley of the Mojave Desert in California is home to spiky yucca trees, long-nosed leopard lizards, loggerhead shrikes, and a rare species of tortoise—and soon, the largest solar thermal energy plant in the world.
More than six years in the making, the Ivanpah plant is now slated to begin generating power before summer's end. It was designed by BrightSource Energy to use more than 170,000 mirrors to focus sunlight onto boilers positioned atop three towers, which reach nearly 500 feet (150 meters) into the dry desert air. The reflected sunlight heats water in the boilers to make steam, which turns turbines to generate electricity—enough to power more than 140,000 homes.

States take a shine to solar energy

States take a shine to solar energy: "The USA has tripled its solar-power-generating capacity since 2010 and increased it tenfold since 2007, according to a new report from the non-profit advocacy group Environment America.
The report said California, Arizona, Nevada, Hawaii, New Mexico and New Jersey lead the country when it comes to the amount of electricity being generated from the sun's energy. Although those are some of the country's sunniest states, the report says it's the political commitment that makes the most impact: Lawmakers in those states have passed solar-friendly laws and regulations.
"The sun shines on every state to varying degrees. But there's plenty of the sun's energy to tap everywhere," study co-author Rob Sargent said. "And what this report shows is that it takes a commitment from the top.""
