Brenda Tracy recounted her story recently to Oregonian sports columnist John Canzano, saying she now wishes she had participated with prosecutors in pressing charges.
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The solar power plant that sprawls across roughly 5 square miles of federal desert near the California-Nevada border isn't producing as much energy as planned. The California Energy Commission says one of the reasons is that the sun hasn't been shining as much as expected. Operators had estimated it would produce enough electricity to power a city of 140,000 homes. But it's produced only about half of its expected output for 2014.
