Another tax payer funded "green energy" boondoggle. Wonder how many birds that thing roasts a year.

High-Tech Solar Projects Fail to Deliver

The $2.2 billion Ivanpah solar-thermal power plant in California and other high-tech solar projects aren't living up to promises their backers made about how much electricity they could generate.

Why aren't water wheels widely used for electric power generation? Could they be used in waterfalls?

Answer (1 of 2): Two big reasons. The amount of electricity available from water is limited by the amount of water and the height the water falls.
