[QUOTE="oldngray, post: 1390831, member: 45230"] The Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating Station concentrates sunshine, heating water and converting the steam into electricity. But lately, it hasn’t been getting enough sunshine — despite being located in the blistering Mojave Desert southwest of Las Vegas — so the plant’s operators are asking for permission to bring in more of another fuel source: natural gas. Bright Source Energy, the company operating the plant, is petitioning the California government, requesting permission to burn more natural gas and to emit 94,749 more tons of carbon dioxide per year. That’s the equivalent of emissions from about 16,500 automobiles. If the permit is approved, then this “solar” plant will produce about 35 percent of its electricity from fossil fuels.
