The Ivanpah tower can power more than 140,000 homes. Construction was great it gave 2,100 people jobs. The add on they're going to build is going to cost $2.2 million. The add on will be put on approxiemntly 3,500 acres on public desert land. The Ivanpah add on will provide more mirrors to reflect light to the focal point. They Ivanpah kills birds and sometimes crashes planes because of the light. The light is so bright and blinds and burns the birds. The light also blinds pilots of planes and causes them to crash.
