Airplane pilots hit by 'nearly blinding' glare from massive Calif. solar facility


Airplane pilots cruising over southern California have been complaining about a "nearly blinding" glare emanating from a massive government-funded solar thermal facility.

The Ivanpah solar energy plant in San Bernardino County is the world's largest solar thermal plant and has 173,500 large mirrors that reflect sunlight onto boilers in three 459-foot towers. A feat of modern engineering - to green energy advocates, but a flying hazard to pilots.
