...yeah, the desert area east of Yuma, AZ, is going solar.

...used to be Jojoba farming area (as well as WWII airfield, Dateland), but fizzled out...hope the solar plant is more successful.

...interestingly, about 10 years ago, the same area (around Welton-Dateland) was talked-up to be the location of a new oil refinery, but it too went down in obscurity.
