BrightSource calls its design the "Power Tower." The company's Web site describes it as a circular field of mirrors covering several acres, which would reflect sunlight onto a water tank mounted atop a tower.

That sounds similar to the Solar plant at Dagget..just east of Barstow and near the Marine facility.

If Solar is so terrific, how come they closed the Dagget operation?

(I’d never heard of it before, but is the last one shown on your “solar projects” link)
