Yeah. They know that they are way closer to the equator.

I have no idea why NRG over estimated the amount of power the Ivanpah plants would produce. I still salute them for being the first to do this type of large scale thermal solar power conversion. Being the first, there will always be revelations of over and under estimations.

Maybe something is happening that they couldn't have predicted.

Here's one of over a hundred pics that I have taken from my yard. Every bit of the cloud cover is man made, and comes from planes.

I suppose it is possible the energy production expectation calculation overlooked the shading effect from cirrus level clouds, both natural and man made from jet engine exhausts. A cirrus cloudy day would be a bright sunny day to most laymen. I doubt it is the sole or dominant explanation to missing the energy production mark by over 40%. The only way to tell is to examine how the higher energy production calculation was made. [I could not examine your Review Journal article that blames cloud cover. My AV program blocked the cite.] It seems to me much more likely the anticipated designed in growth numbers were erroneously touted as first year production expectations. This would not be the first time the wrong numbers were used.

Claiming a government, corporate, or any other form of group conspiracy to deliberately spoil this project sounds more like a paranoid schizophrenic delusion than reality.

Since the proposed project in Dubai is not up and run. How can you draw a comparison. It might not make expectations either.

Could be that the guys at Ivanpah know something the guys in Dubia don't know.

Like you can't depend on the sun to shine as it has in the past over an area. And planing to it has it's pit falls. Like some one comparing their running plant to one proposed.

I wonder how many birds are being "fried" at that plant.

Something tells me that they most likely do not have to worry about loss of wildlife where they are located. (At least not yet.)

"Factors such as clouds, jet contrails and weather have had a greater impact on the plant than the owners anticipated," the agency said in a statement.

Since when did, "jet contrails" become an acceptable excuse for solar mirrors not operating to capacity?

20 years ago they would never have offered this as an explanation for why their plant isn't working up to snuff. Think about it.

Just for giggles, I've looked over the internet and created a couple of folders of old vs new clouds over Arizona.

Notice any difference?

Yep.

The clouds are responsible for the numbers being way lower than expected.

All it takes is a suspension of the belief that our government is incapable of taking our money and doing REALLY stupid things with it. They are...and it's getting dangerous.

The photo above was taken just now in my back yard. It is more typical of what I see every day here in my Arizona. The trees are there for reference. Not a cloud in the sky.

"Chemtrails" are not an everyday sight. The "government" is not trying to kill us.

High altitude condensation trails I do see.

Yeah, I know....and I see this from my front yard, along with black helicopters that hover in place and observe, because I live near an airport.

If you want to catch the persistent contrails, watch the jetsteam. This may require going outside of the parking garage.

I live near three airports, am under the the approach/departure path of Sky Harbor Int. Airport and never see "black" helicopters hovering. Aircraft departing and approaching are at about 4,000 feet when they pass by.Go on Flight Tracker.

So you believe that the Nevada mirrors aren't working because of normal contrails?

Blame it on Bush. Same guy that became convinced that incandescent bulbs would wipe out planet earth.

I don't know who took the Mesa pics, but all of the others were taken from my yard.

Whenever the slightest rain front approaches, there is heavy spraying in front of it and behind it. The contrails converge, block out the sky, and ride the jetstream out to the Atlantic...eventually making it to Europe and Russia.

They focus on the Northwest and Southeast, but will do it anywhere. Nevada won't be generating much solar power today.

Not much sunlight reaching the Atlantic today, which has become typical.

These black helicopters are there for a reason, but not for the airport.

Just right now.

Every day.

This is no coincidence.

Its not what he says but how he says it . . .

It's funny that we've got politicians, including the president, that are still basing decisions on completely inaccurate climate models, politicians that think that light bulbs threaten planet earth, politicians that think that human population levels can capsize islands....and the crazy people are the ones that think that politicians are doing stupid, uninformed things without telling us.

It's worth noting that the guy that started this site, started investigating what was going on when he noticed that his solar panels were not operating anywhere near where they should have been.

Give them politicians some slack. Changing light bulbs from one sort to the next is just the actionism that prevents them from making bigger mistakes. But rest assured you would be up in arms if nothing was being done.

Nothing done is never good so some little things done it needs to be.

Sometimes bigger ploiticians make bigger mistakse.

I think we just dont feel alive if nothing moves. So people move things even so they know better. Its the same at home. Lets say the floorboards are entirely fine with one or two squeeking. They would outlast your kids but for the sake of change they will have to be re-done at some point. Thats what the government tells you.

If you understand that then you also understand big politics.

(at least thats my take on the whole circus)

Stay clean and the black helicopters might go away! Maybe redo the floorboards!

The reason the Nevada solar farm isn't working as predicted, is because of man made clouds. I answered your question.

Stop putting up threads that you don't want addressed. Goodbye blue sky.

Sorry for the 10 minute delay.

I'll stop hijacking your thread with my stupid pictures, even though the progression is quite an amazing thing to witness.

Old versus new, well you forgot to mention, these are entirely different types of clouds observed during different weather temporal patterns. Yes, cirrus, or other cloud cover affects solar power projects, no doh, Howard.
