"Gigantic Western Solar ‘Power Tower’ Project Gets Withdrawn"

"SolarReserve LLC has withdrawn its application to build the world’s largest concentrating solar-thermal power plant on public land in the Nevada desert, according to the Bureau of Land Management.

The California renewable energy developer had planned to build a $5 billion, 2-gigawatt solar power plant north of Las Vegas using 10 “power towers” that would have used the sun’s energy to super-heat molten salt to produce electricity for 1 million Californians.

The project’s federal permit application was withdrawn on January 31, BLM spokesman Derrick Henry said April 15."
