Solar Power Tower

March 13th, 2008 Alex

Solar reflecting mirrors that currently power the village. The heat creates hot air which rises in the tower to spin a turbine which then generates electricity.

A new firm called Torresol Energy is planning on building two of these a year with a goal of generating 320 megawatts over the next 5 years and 1,000 megawatts in 10 years.
