Inhabitat has a post on Solarreserve's recent proposal to build a 2GW solar thermal power plant in the Nevada desert - World’s largest thermal solar plant could be coming to Nevada.
The company recently announced it’s hoping to build a 2,000 megawatt facility in Nevada called Sandstone. With a planned 10 towers and more than 100,000 concentrating mirrors, the plant would be the largest of its type anywhere in the world. It would overshadow SolarReserve’s Crescent Dunes plant, currently the largest in the US with 110 megawatts of capacity.
