Silver State South Solar Project
The Silver State South Solar Project is a 250 megawatt (MWAC) photovoltaic power plant located in Clark County, Nevada, and near the previously completed 50 MWAC Silver State North Solar Project and the 530 MW gas-fired Higgins Generating Station. The project was completed in late 2016 and was constructed by subcontractors for First Solar.[1][2] The plant is owned and operated by a subsidiary of NextEra Energy Resources, and power is being sold to Southern California Edison.[3]

gollark: CPUs are basically just "execute C-like-code really fast" machines instead of, well, something else, like GPUs.
gollark: Kind of a shame stuff is generally just forced to map onto really outdated machines from ye olden C era.
gollark: Though this is perhaps more of an issue of programmers, languages and tooling more than hardware issues.
gollark: The thing is that the GPU isn't really integrated into normal compute use very much, even when it could probably be used effectively.
gollark: Idea for an instruction set: x86-64 MOV, but no other instructions.
