The pic looks real but I agree with JJ. Doesn’t look like the landscape out that way.
Giant Solar project , El Homeport back from the dead and a 4 lane toll road to the border!

And a 4-lane highway to reduce the commute from PHX to 3hrs! Would be great if we can do all of this - this decade 
I don’t immediately see where Arizona approved this.

And this pipeline full of fresh water will go from PP to where in AZ? To a reservoir that dos not even exist? The only so-called reservoirs are just water behind a few dams along the Colorado River which just happen to be quite distant from the border.
Once the tree huggers get wind of it consider it all just a fart in a windstorm.

Nuclear fusion as a utility power source is 30 to 50 or more years away. I have about 100 scientific publications with the word nuclear in the title.
I agree. I wish fusion power plants were 10 years away but it’s unfortunately going to be a lot longer.
And there is no guarantee it will eve happen. The laser inertial confinement approach that Livermore has been working on for 30 years has no path forward as a practical power source. Really intractable problems such as neutron embrittlement might keep it out of reach.

Just read in our local rag, The Yuma Sun, that six endangered Sonoran Pronghorns were "returned to Mexico". "The antelope were removed from the Cabeza Prieta semi-captive breeding pen and transported to Sonora's El Pinacate Biosphere Reserve where they remained in a holding pen until successfully adapted to the environment on Jan 10, 2023".
All soon to enjoy the new worlds largest solar array near PP.
Wadda wonderment!

We went out to the solar farm yesterday and drove all the way to the airport (about 4 miles off the Caborca Hwy). It truly is unreal. I tried to get some pics but wasn’t up high enough to get a good perspective. There are thousands of solar panels. I tried to attach a pic but keep getting “sever error try again later”

Future of Arizona's desalination dreams dashed by Sonora's governor
Gov. Alfonso Durazo said there has been "no commitment" from Sonora's government to supply Arizona with water through the desalination plant.

Yep my inital take too but I think we are wrong. The governor notes the plant in the end is a federal issue and the president will make the call.The president overrode regional officails on the train and will on this too according to politico nerd friend from Hermosillo. The governor in the open is simply saying he isn't a cheap date!
If you get more experience living in Mx, you will learn that Alfonso's position is quite typical in these parts. Agree to cooperate/sell/develop at the start of a project, and if it catches on, throw water on it to get a better deal, a big payday, etc. Research why there are so many high rise skeletons abandoned everywhere you look.
