California's $2.2 billion solar plant is shutting down.
Once hailed as a breakthrough, the Ivanpah Solar Facility in the Mojave Desert is now a case study in failed technology and environmental risk.
Built with $1.6 billion in federal loans in 2014, the plant was hailed as a symbol of America's clean energy future. It used 173,000 mirrors to focus sunlight onto three massive towers heating fluid to drive steam turbines.
Complicated.
Expensive.
And it never delivered on its promise.
After just 11 years, the technology is now obsolete.
On top of that, the facility became notorious for its environmental toll, with estimates of at least 6,000 birds incinerated each year by the concentrated beams.
The promise was affordable, reliable, green power. The reality was high costs, technical failures and ecological damage.
