The above takes you to the Ivanpah Concentrating Solar plant. You can also see the golf course that someone built in the desert next to it for scale.

The largest solar installation in the world, it's truly mind bending in size when you zoom in.
But, if I was angry about my well running dry in the desert, I'd start with the golf courses and farmers rather than the solar farms.
