From NPR, link here:
North Texas: it approached 80°F today, but it will cool significantly to the high 60s tomorrow, but then we're going to be in the high 80s over the weekend, and possibly even hitting 90°F -- although I doubt it -- more likely 88°F will be the high. I'm lovin' it.

Solar
Ivanpah: not on my bingo card today. Scheduled to close in 2039 -- about fifteen years from now-- two of three solar farms are to be closed immediately and the operator is looking to close the third of three units.
And this has nothing to do with any executive order by Trump.
Even the Sierra Club didn't like this project.
Abject failure. Solar farms are expected to last forever -- after all,
they're cheap and the fuel source is free. Oil wells last longer than
this. My hunch: the depreciation / tax credits expired. Time to initiate
a new farm with new depreciation, tax credits, tax incentives, subsidies from US taxpayers. .
