Rio Solare

Addressing environmental issues in the United States, the Rio Solare (Spanish: "River of the Sun") is a Closed-Loop Society concept.[1] It is located in the tri-state area of Arizona, Nevada, and California. The project covers a 22-mile stretch of the Colorado River from Laughlin, Nevada in the north to Needles, California in the south. Currently, the project includes 8 major installations along this route,[2] each of which is a world's first demonstration of proven technologies that exist today.[3]

History

Conception and Design

Rio Solare was the idea of entrepreneur Richard Brindisi who derived of the concept while driving through the mountains surrounding Bullhead City, Arizona in 2008. The concept of Rio Solare is a self-sustained, closed-loop community similar to other global projects such as Kacare in Saudi Arabia or Masdar in Abu Dhabi. Like Epcot Center at Disney World, this concept would be an expose of technologies showcasing imagination, creativity, and application.

The Installations

As of 2022, there are eight proposed installations in the Rio Solare project:
