Smaller red square would satisfy electricity needs of Europe, the smallest would cover Germany's energy demand ...... Heat captured over a 510,000 square meter area can produce enough electricity to meet the demands of 200,000 people ..... do i even believe all this? - pb:

SHOCKING POWER of WIND: ...... why do we fight oil wars ?? brainwashing propaganda..... energy will become a human right, furnished for free to all law abiding citizens of the world.

There ALWAYS have been climate TEMPERATURE OSCILLATIONS on the Earth, and there always WILL BE. .. The MAIN factor is the intensity of the SUNSHINE... Are anthropogenic greenhouse gases contributing? Yes, to some small extent. But the Earth is a DYNAMIC system, it will find an answer, a new equilibrium, and it always DID...That is why Europe will...
..The present climate temperature oscillations are quite normal, the period is rather cool .. NOW, or would you rather want global cooling, or freezing?? ... UPtick oscillation in global temperatures will cause TREMENDOUS amounts of so far uninhabitable land, mainly Canada and Russia, and pole regions, to be HABITABLE. .. That will bring HUGE amounts of WEALTH, of minerals, of oil, of new living space, to humankind hopefully ....

you can draw more power at higher altitudes. The Harvard study is based around the use of taller 100-meter turbines, as opposed to 50-to-80-meter turbines. ... Also, the U.S. is believed to be able to produce twice as much wind energy than previously laid out in a 2008 study. (16 times more than current consumption .... Rural areas of Russia and Canada are said to be the best areas for power generation, which is based around the distribution of 2.5- to 3.0-megawatt turbines in relatively temperate and open landscapes - pb:

History of Solar Thermal - Concentrated Solar Power (CPS) in the USA. Explosion of plans to build. 107 in Ca, 71 in NV, 35 AZ, total 2.3 mil acres
"A total of 9 CSP plants were built in the 1980s and early 1990s in California’s Mojave desert. But sinking oil prices and a withdrawal of federal tax credits brought the industry to a total standstill." ........NOW- Oakland,CA BrightSource Energy is building a 400 MW CSP plant in the Mojave Desert, called the Ivanpah Solar Power Complex ....... Israel-based Solel is developing a 553 MW CSP facility in the Mojave Desert, called the Mojave Solar Park. ...... Pasadena-based, Google-backed eSolar is constructing an up to 245 MW plant, the Gaskell Sun Tower, in Kern County. It is slated to be the nation's first commercial effort in building "power tower" CSP plants. - pb: from Bookmarklet
In 2007, Spain's Acciona Solar dedicated America's first CSP plant in almost two decades, Nevada Solar One (pictured above). The $266 million plant boasts a capacity of 64 MW. ........ In 2008, Abengoa Solar, a Spanish multinational, announced plans to construct what will be one of the largest CSP plants on the planet when it goes online in 2011 – a $1 billion, 280 MW facility 70 miles southwest of Phoenix. - pb:
