As the BrightSource Corporation has on its website:
The electricity generated by all three plants at the Ivanpah Mojave
Desert solar complex will be enough to serve more than 140,000
homes in California;  total employee wages over the 30-year life of
the plant are estimated to be $650 million;  more than 13.5 million
tons of carbon dioxide emissions will be avoided over the 30-year
life cycle of the plant, equivalent to taking 2.1 million cars off
the road. And this solar complex also cuts major air pollutants by
85% compared to new natural gas-fired power plants;   
then as a matter of national security regarding the survival of the
Americans and of the California Global Warming Solutions Act of
2006 the California Air Resources Board should solicit the
assistance of the federal government to contract with the
BrightSource Corporations and the BrightSource corporate investors
like Google, Chevron, Morgan Stanley, and BP Alternative Energy,
and new contractors like Boeing to increase the number of Ivanpah
projects by 150 times to eliminate carbon-based sources of
electricity for the state of California, and to begin construction
of these 150 solar complexes no later than 2013.
