For those interested in the Very Bright Lights we saw outside Primm Nevada on the way to the river, read:

This plant should eventually produce 392 MegaWatts of power by using sunlight to make steam to spin the turbines. This is about 1/5th of the maximum capacity of Hoover Dam (2080 MW) which generates electricity by using flowing water rather than steam to spin the turbines!
