Many people think solar energy can’t work because it would take too much land to get enough power… Well, now scientists have figured out how to concentrate the suns energy to make solar panels just as competitive as any other source of energy (Actually more competitive if you calculate all the medical costs created by [...]

The solar thermal power plant stands at 40 stories high. (similar plants are being developed for the western US). The water in the tower is heated by the suns rays through the use of 600 gigantic mirrors. The focused rays turn the water into steam that subsequently generates power by turning turbines.
This simple and less [...]
