solarAn Italian company is proposing to build a massive solar-power plant south of Phoenix near the town of Maricopa and the Sonoran Desert National Monument, and it will discuss its plans publicly Tuesday night.

The company, Marisol Energy 2, envisions a project that would generate 300 megawatts, enough power for 75,000 homes, when the sun is shining.
