One of the most expensive green energy projects in the history of the United States seems to have borrowed it after eating a lot of taxpayers' money and killing thousands of birds. [emphasis, links added]
A large -scale public institutional company Pacific Natural Gas and Electric Company (PG & E) announced in January that it will terminate the power purchase contract signed by the owner of the owner of the solar facilities of Ivan Pache solar facilities in California, Southwest, A huge and unique solar project, which received hundreds of millions of dollars of subsidies in 2014.
Only more than ten years after the operation After killing thousands of birds, the facility seems to perish towards it because it cannot provide enough energy for public utilities.
“PG & E determined that the agreement to terminate at this time will save customers funds,” The company said in a statement on January 17 about the factory.
According to the “Las Vegas Review”, the original owner of the factory (cost about $ 2.2 billion) includes Google and NRG Energy.
“Los Angeles Times” reported in 2016 The an average of 6,000 birds is killed each year, With some unfortunate biology collided with the 40 -story tower of the development project, while others are When chasing the prey, immediately incinerate when flying in the sun.
According to analysis, the project has obtained tax reduction and exemption, US $ 1.6 billion of the Obama Energy Department (DOE) subsidies of US $ 1.6 billion, and another 535 million US dollars of subsidies from the Obama Department (DOT), but failed to reach the power output level of advertising. Benjamin Zycher, a senior researcher at the US Enterprise Academy (AEI).
“That's the future. It will demonstrate how to preserve the earth. This will generate clean, cheap electricity, and immune international prices, interest rates, currency exchange value and the changes in Caprice of foreign governments.”
“This is a huge achievement that may be achieved about public/private 'partnerships', that is, the great achievements of the central plan of American style.”
The Ivanah project consists of three large towers. These towers are surrounded by reflectors on the tower.
The energy is then used to heave the water into the steam and then provide power for the turbine of the power generation.
The two of the three of the three towers will no longer be purchased by PG & E.
According to the Associated Press, it is reported that Edison, Southern California, purchased the remaining power produced by the factory-reportedly contact the owner of the Ivanpa Solar Energy Project and the federal government to acquire contracts with the facility. Mowing
In addition to causing many birds to die, the concentrated sunlight of the redirection is the core of the operation of the project, which has almost caused serious problems, because the nozzle will cause concentration and energy to focus on the error part of the tower, resulting in a small fire. Forced closed closure. A few hours of plants.
In addition, the project also issued a strong glare to affect the pilot's vision of flying over the distant head.
According to UtilityDive, the construction of the project is to reduce emissions and provide energy for non -fossil fuel sources, and it also uses a large amount of natural gas to run.
Actually, The Iwanpa Solar Project used enough natural gas in 2014, and is eligible to participate in the upper limit and transaction emission plan of California to participate in the CaliforniaBut this policy is not covered, because It burned at night to keep its own gases in its own operation.
In 2016, local news media news media reports of California The discharge of natural gas of this facility increased by nearly 50 % in 2015 That Compared with the same period of the previous year, the factory's gas consumption in the first three quarters of 2016 increased by 7 %.
