This provides for a perfect location to harness the wind. The dust particles from this area are a major heath and environmental situation that can be mitigate. The dust is also a scientific interruption with the Kitt peak observatories. The reduction in dust is the first result of this project. Currently when the whiteout conditions are happening, all sorts of problems are incurred.
Rail traffic is slowed, as a rail line traverses the northern section of the playa.
Interstate traffic is affected as I-10 runs just North of the Playa. The business and resident of the southern area of Arizona are affected and many heath problem associated with this excessive dust are numerous. A revolutionary combination wind solar electric array. The wind turbine units are going to be a whole new direction in wind technology in that no outer blades are uses. They are not efficient and cannot even be used when the wind lows hard, like it does there.
