Cheap solar panels for someone when site cleanup begins?
No, once again lee gets it wrong. They are actually solar reflectors.
And once again you couldn't read to the end before jumping in.

Of course if lee had bothered to read the full article he would have realised that the failure of this project was due to management and bureaucratic incompetence rather than any failure of the concept.
And of course being paid for by taxpayer dollars they couldn't re-order more?
If the project is so good that shouldn't be too hard.
"However, a significant technical issue, relevant to the integration of the solar thermal addition materialised post that risk assessment, being the impact on the Kogan steam turbine from a sudden reduction in solar steam flow caused by rapidly moving clouds. The emergence of this issue heightened CS Energy’s concerns regarding the risks associated with integrating the solar boost addition with the power station. "
