Anyone ever been to Amboy Ca? I have. I used to drive Amboy rd to I-40 every weekend from Twentynine Palms. There is less than nothing out there. Amboy is on the northern edge of the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center in Twentynine Palms. You also may have seen Amboy in the 1985 movie The Hitcher. The cafe in the movie is in Amboy.

Yes, it’s about as close to a wasteland as you can get in Calfornia. Desert vistas?

Marine Corps has been looking into expanding 29Palms since 9/11. The solar farms would possibly impact some of the procurement.

About $1 -$10mil/Megawatt, but then again, if metals theft is bad in Arizona, just imagine trying to keep the plant from vaporizing in remote desert.
