All generators which use super heated steam need condensers but you can use air cooled condensers.The tech has improved a lot recently. They look like this.
In the first and third pictures above you can see the green trailor-looking buildings with the pipes running into/out of them.
Those are the condensers that help cool/recirculate the water.

Question 3:
Where did they put the coal-fired plant that will power these “140,000 homes” when it is cloudy? Or do they just intend to use diesel-fueled peaker plants for that?

Just to think! The wacko environmentalist banned motorcycles from this area just so they could have this giant bird broaster. It really preserved the unspoiled view, didn’t it?

Let’s have a little math fun. One gargantuan solar plant will provide power for 140,000 people houses (not businesses or manufacturers) for 2 thirds of a day (the other third is night) which covers approximately 5 square miles. So for the West Coast’s (just Ca, Or & Wa) approximate population of 56 million it would take 400 of these installations and approximately 2,000 square miles to provide the electric for 2 thirds of a day for the West Coast.
Now, about cost ........
