(Assuming 25% capacity factor.) So at these costs it would take $9.4M to make the equivalent of a large nuclear reactor of 1,100 MW. (Assuming 90% capacity factor.)

Costs far less to build and run than nuclear!

Serously, though, keep the news coming on the tipping states – Utah, Georgia, Lousiana, etc.. Another plant in California in comparison isn´t news.
