== Accidents and incidents == In February 1999, a {{convert|900000|USgal|m3|adj=on}} [[mineral oil]] storage tank exploded at the SEGS I (Daggett) solar power plant, sending flames and smoke into the sky. Authorities were trying to keep flames away from two adjacent containers that held [[sulfuric acid]] and [[sodium hydroxide]]. The immediate area of {{convert|0.5|sqmi|km2}} was evacuated.<ref>[https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1999-feb-27-mn-12205-story.html Storage Tank at Solar Power Plant in Desert Explodes; Immediate Area Is Evacuated]</ref>
