- every solution what is based on thermal energy conversion is a dead end.********
- vast regions will be turned into savanas, including in Europe in the comings decades - solar and batteries are the future********
- @sted - why's that?Nairn
- like this thermal-solar plant is pushing out enormous amount of heat, the air temperature around its cone can go up to 500C.********
- so you're basically putting a cooker into the already hot deserted area this is the end of this technology, there is no room for improvement just scaling.********
- All proper solar solutions are pushing the technology towards less heat loss, and wider light spectrum energy harvesting.********
- it doesn’t generate more heatmonospaced
- Aye, it does at the focal point. I've seen footage of birds getting vaporised when they fly through it, poor bastards.Nairn
- The advantage with this over normal solar IS the heat it generates. It's more immediately useful for industrial purposes.Nairn
- It's funny to think that pretty much all nuclear fission power production is basically using teh nuclears to replicate 18th C steam technology...Nairn
- thermal collectors operating from 250C to 600C********
- and that's the operational temperature, what the central receiver is emitting varies but its always much higher than the operating temperature.********
- @Nairn yeah see, we push out a lot of heated water from nuclear/gas plants...********
- @sted - 500°C is at the lower end of the heat 'concentration' - it goes up to 1000°C, hence the instantly POOFing birds.Nairn

- ah Heliogen. that goes beyond solar/steam energy generation with thermal energy storage and alternative application soltuions********

- The flipside of it generating, or at least redirecting and focusing solar radiation, is that it makes the floor around cooler. They should grow grasses, or werNairn
- build up an ecosystem. attract flowers, then insects, then birds, and then burn loads birds. POOF!Nairn
- we should spend real effort on covering deserts with solar panels, there are proper research papers on how covering a certain area of the sahara triggers********
- positive ecological events.********
- wait... that's not an aerial shot of burning man?PonyBoy
