Enviromission's LaPaz project discussed on Arizona PBS TV spot last week: http://www.azpbs.org/arizonahorizon/detailvid.php?id=14025

Notable snippits:

capital cost "ballpark": $700m
"we have a 100% committment for that now"

land use: 3500 acres (equiv space/power ratio for solar PV)

discussed also: past concerns voiced by FAA & military re: LaPaz tower (this is new to me). Unclear if this is resolved.

1500 peak construction jobs, 50 people to operate & maintain it. Life expectancy of 75 years (2-3 times other renewable plants).

Land rights still being negotiated (rev-share with land trust).

Break ground expected end of next year, or early 2014.

Permitting phase is only road-block left, since the capital cost are worked out.
