California will soon be home to the world’s two largest solar towers through an ambitious project known as The Palen Solar Electrical Generating System.
The announcement was made shortly after the US Department of Interior announced the country was to add 1.1 gigawatts to its clean energy capacity. California has also committed to have a third of their power must be derived from renewable sources by the year 2030.

$2.6 billion (we'll see how much that balloons by 2016) and no mention of the pay-off period.
how does the cost compare to other energy sources? what happens when the '... thousands of motor-driven mirrors that track the sun ...' start to fail? just how much will schwarzennegger's global warming final solutions act (ab 32) cost us little energy rate payers who are not in the 1%?
oh my
california. boondoggle heaven!
