Marlowe, thanks for posting the link. I think Mr. Lawhn had the best viewing f this place.
Robert, one of the ERCOT operators has a friend that works at Ivanpah and she reports that the place is quite different.

You're welcome Terry. I always hope that my posts do not offend anyone since they are not part of our diecast business.

NRG Energy acquired the company I had worked for since 1973. I was employed by NRG as a transition manager from Dec 2012 - July 2013, when I retired. In March 2013 I got to go to the top of the northern-most "tower", from which I could see the Las Vegas Strip. The first tower was "fluxing" - generating heat to see how the mirrors worked. It was like looking at the sun.
Don't miss it though after 40 years. Recently received my Nevada real estate license so back to going to work each day. A challenging endeavor for this old engineer.

Proud of you Robert.
I'm now 49 years in this field of operations and I'm about done too.
Let me know if you find a "deal" in Vegas. A little condo to hunker down in might work.
