Because of California law, PG&E needs to get 20% of its electricity from renewable sources (not including big hydro) by 2010, so it has contracted with Brightsource Energy for 3 new solar-thermal power plants in the Mojave desert, one of the best spots for solar power in the world.

For all of its advantages, solar thermal is not without drawbacks, of course. I understand that it can have tremendous impacts on native desert ecosystems just because it's so physically enormous.
