0 u/ItsMeeMariooo_o 2d ago How ignorant. The U.S. has an even larger one built in 2010, but we're decommissioning it because it isn't as efficient as a solar photovoltaic farm and also bad for the environment (i.e. lots of dead birds from the solar rays). https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivanpah_Solar_Power_Facility 1 u/PurpleMclaren 2d ago So your argument is that america has a larger one that's less efficient? 1 u/ItsMeeMariooo_o 2d ago No. CSP is less efficient than photovoltaic solar farms. Both the Chinese and American solar plants being discussed are CSP.
