Solar Power Plants in the Mojave Desert

● https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_power_plants_in_the_Mojave_Desert
Solar Energy Generating Systems (SEGS) is the name given to nine solar power plants in the Mojave Desert which were built in the 1980s ... 
These solar power plants had a combined capacity of 354 megawatts (MW) which made them the largest solar power installation in the world, until the 2013/14 California Ivanpah Solar Power Facility.

The U.S. pioneered solar tower and trough technologies. A number of different solar thermal technologies are in use in the U.S:
The largest and oldest solar power plant in the world is the 354 MW SEGS thermal power plant, in California.
 
The 64 MW Nevada Solar One uses parabolic trough technology in one of the largest solar plants in the world.
 
The Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System is a solar thermal power project in the California Mojave Desert, 40 miles (64 km) southwest of Las Vegas, with a planned gross capacity of 392 megawatts (MW). It deploys 173,500 heliostats each with two mirrors focusing solar energy on boilers located on centralized solar power towers. The facility opened on February 13, 2014.
 
The Solana Generating Station is a solar power plant near Gila Bend, Arizona, about 70 miles (110 km) southwest of Phoenix, completed in 2013. When commissioned it was the largest parabolic trough plant in the world and the first U.S. solar plant with molten salt thermal energy storage. Built by the Spanish company Abengoa Solar, it has a total capacity of 280 megawatts (MW), which is enough to power 70,000 homes while avoiding around 475,000 tons of carbon dioxide. Its name is the Spanish term for "sunny spot".
 
The Martin Next Generation Solar Energy Center is a hybrid 75-megawatt (MW) parabolic trough solar energy plant that is owned by Florida Power & Light Company (FPL). *The solar plant is a component of the 3,705 MW Martin County Power Plant, which is currently the single largest fossil fuel burning power plant in the United States. Completed at the end of 2010, it is located in western Martin County, Florida, just north of Indiantown.
The Mojave Solar Project is a 280 MW solar thermal power facility in the Mojave Desert in California, which was completed in December 2014.
 
The Crescent Dunes Solar Energy Project is a 110 MW solar thermal power project near Tonopah, about 230 miles (370 km) northwest of Las Vegas, which was completed in September 2015.

Southern Nevada Water Authority Water Smart Landscapes Rebate Program

Type: Program
Status: Ongoing
Source File: http://www.snwa.com/html/cons_wsl.html
Description:
Water Smart Landscapes Rebate
The Water Smart Landscapes rebate helps property owners convert water-thirsty grass to xeriscape, a lush yet water-efficient landscape. SNWA will rebate customers $1.50 per square foot of grass removed and replaced with xeriscape with no cap on maximum square footage. Certain restrictions apply to well owners. For more information, including terms and requirements, view the program conditions.
Check In
Apply online or call 258-SAVE for a printed application. You also can request a information packet on the program. Before you get started, SNWA will answer your questions and review the lawn areas you're converting. You must participate in a pre-conversion site visit before removing your lawn. Starting without SNWA approval will make your conversion ineligible.
Dig In
Upgrade some or all of your lawn to a Water Smart Landscape. Use our free landscape designs. If you choose to work with a professional, consider our list of Water Smart Contractors.
Cash In
After you upgrade, you'll get $1.50 for every square foot of lawn converted to water-smart landscaping. Rebates for well owners are subject to the availability of special funds and limited to 2,500 square feet per calendar year.
Every square foot of grass replaced with water-smart trees, shrubs and flowers saves an average of 55 gallons of water per year, so you'll also save money on your monthly water bill.
Get the facts
Not sure if the rebate covers artificial turf? Is your HOA telling you xeriscape isn't allowed? Check the Frequent Questions page to find out more about these and other rebate issues. Also, check out the program conditions.
Get useful tips and resources
Upon enrollment, you will receive the "Simply Beautiful" interactive CD-ROM, which features a comprehensive, plant-search database as well as a step-by-step guide to landscape planning, installation and maintenance.

:Pollution in Orbit: Why technological innovation and increased cooperation regarding space debris are vital
* http://www.thespacereview.com/article/3438/1
There are more than 500,000 tracked objects larger than a marble, and millions of smaller untrackable objects orbiting the Earth at speeds of up to 28,000 kilometers per hour. The US government’s Space Surveillance Network (SSN) uses approximately 30 sensors around the world to track and catalogue the positions and velocities of more than 16,000 of these objects orbiting the Earth. The tracking system registers objects as small as five centimeters in LEO (Low Earth Orbit) and as large as one meter in geosynchronous orbit.
