That photo reminded of the other solar technology located somewhere in the Western U.S.. We drove past it but did not note where it was.
It's a mammoth circular array of mirrors that focus the sun onto a high tower in the middle of the array. It's quite a spectacular thing to see when it's in operation ... with a white hot glowing structure at the top of the tower probably holding some kind of chamber for the super-heating of a liquid to maybe drive turbines or some other type of electricity generating method??
Does anyone know where this thing is that we saw on an RV trip?
