I dunno Jed, But I think a sloping tunnel dug from Los Angeles to Pasadena
bypassing JPL would alleviate the smog problem (a similar vent with fans
was proposed when I lived there in 1954 before they did away with back-yard incinerators)
and rival the  Australian 200 Megawatt 3800 Ft. "Solar Tower" in the works.
 
I'm not all that familiar with the topography in that area anymore, but ?
