    Saw these in the desert on a drive to Vegas over a decade ago as well. Honestly, seems like a pretty solved piece of technology. I think they meant to say "politically difficult" rather than "technically difficult" in the article.

      Considering the amount of money the Fossil fuel industry is throwing at Anti-Windmill astroturf, I’m sure it would be commercially difficult. Unfortunately, due to the amount of money the fossil fuel industry would throw at astroturfing an anti-solar oven campaign.
