Comment | As the BrightSource Corporation has on its website: The electricity generated by all three plants at the Ivanpah Mojave Desert solar complex will be enough to serve more than 140,000 homes in California; total employee wages over the 30-year life of the plant are estimated to be $650 million; more than 13.5 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions will be avoided over the 30-year life cycle of the plant, equivalent to taking 2.1 million cars off the road. And this solar complex also cuts major air pollutants by 85% compared to new natural gas-fired power plants; then as a matter of national security regarding the survival of the Americans and of the California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 the California Air Resources Board should solicit the assistance of the federal government to contract with the BrightSource Corporations and the BrightSource corporate investors like Google, Chevron, Morgan Stanley, and BP Alternative Energy, and new contractors like Boeing to increase the number of Ivanpah projects by 150 times to eliminate carbon-based sources of electricity for the state of California, and to begin construction of these 150 solar complexes no later than 2013. |
