6. DELTA SOLAR RUINS

Location: Delta, Utah

The Delta Solar Ruins are the perfect example of an experiment gone terribly wrong. Originally built in 2008, these solar towers were to serve as an alternative source of energy for Southern California, but have since been left to rust and rot just outside Delta, Utah. The project was expected to be huge once completed, covering over 700 acres with a thousand sun-absorbing towers. Unfortunately, the cheaper (and not so rugged) plastic materials used for the solar collector panels couldn’t withstand the relentless desert winds and the project was abandoned. But it’s still pretty cool to look at.
