Wasn't that the setup in a Bond movie?

The 2 BILLION dollar blight built on 3,500 pristine acres of Mojave desert has been responsible for incinerating more than 60,000 birds, created TWICE the pollution of a typical power plant, created 86 jobs instead of the promised 2000, and will abandon 173,500 thermal collectors in the environment they were trying to save
Other than that, how was the play, Mrs. Lincoln?

I've seen this thing in person.
About a third of the mirrors need cleaning at any given time. About 10% of the mirror actuators are broken at any given time. They have had several fires at the towers over the years.
This is 100% one of those ideas that "sounds good in theory" but doesn't work out in real life.
The plant never met its goals since the day it was opened.
Now it's just an expensive scrap heap and eyesore.
