Not a photovoltaic "solar farm" in CA, but a central tower with mirrors (called "heliostats") reflecting sun onto a boiler in the tower. The boiler makes steam that drives a steam turbine. Totally different tech.

I pity people that get this green crap sited next to them. Wind farms are all over the west. You may have had a family ranch for 150 years and then these hideous monstrosities move in.

11,000 solar panels on a 27-acre plot is still a hideous eyesore. You see these all over the west, too, and in the most unlikely places.
