If you ever heard some of the Bob Newhart’s spoof routines, where he poked fun at various things; this half-assed idea is made to order for a Newhart routine.
You con the gubmint into loaning you $2.2 BILLION$, to put a tank full of water on top of a tower, and then reflect sunlight from mirrors on the ground onto the tank to make the water boil, creating steam. The steam pressure spins a turbine to generate electricity, which is then routed to LA, to power the city.
Oh yes, this Rube Goldberg set-up is in the Mohave Desert, so the water has to be piped in from where? The more details one hears, the more stupid it appears. Only friends of Obama could pull off a scam like this; getting the $2.2 Billion. How much of that money has made its way into the Democrat Party coffers?
This bad LSD trip of an idea deserves to be included with Newhart’s “Grace L. Ferguson Airline & Storm Door Company”; or “The School for Bus Drivers”; or “A Griper in the Revolutionary Army”.
And a bunch of thieves in the current Democrat administration deserve to be in Leavenworth Prison.
Still left unsaid, is the well known Physical rule of High Voltage AC electrical transmission : Typically, HALF of generated energy is lost in transmission (unless the generators are next door)
How long is the transmission line from Ivanpah to El Lay??
