It powers 140,000 homes, so that's half a gallon (1.9 liter) per home. How many minutes of showering/flushing is that? How much do alternatives use?

furthermore, this is a simple technology, mirrors and steam generators, that means minimal risk of catastrophic failure. All you need is some space.

There are so many deserts. But you know what? I think this is the kind of energy that Exxon doesn't want you to know about

This is a great idea, and the future has to be solar.. you say it costs more, but there are leaking and aging nuclear reactors all over the US. there is an old reactor near new york city, if that one melts down like fukushima, what's the cost of evacuating 17 million people from a world financial and business center? Japan could barely evacuate 90,000. Also, how about the cost of nuclear disposal and the cost of nuclear terrorism? Factor all the costs people!!!

Have a listen to what he said, Can you imagine the cost of research and development to make something like this work?

[Beef1188]

There is no fucking way that power from here could be 3 times more expensive. This is fucking monetary propaganda because it doesn't consume any resources!

@sungiga  G'day, nice clip ! I enjoyed it, especiajy the juxtaposition that it's the top-related link to a clip of mine; and we're the 2 ends of the Solar R&D spectrum... To see what I mean, search 'solar thermal ramjet', & have a giggle at NASA ranked backseat to a Hillbilly..! For the backstory, search 'sunfoil', & it's an interlocking suite of vid's. The "Short-Talk" is best entrypoint, & "SunFoil Science..." maybe best value. Enjoy..!

It is a mixed bag to get where we may need to go. A family house would combine, some sort of Solar, Wind, and Biodigester for the homes organic waste- that would give you methane. The methane is used to cook and heat. Energy storage would be in Methane Tank and Batteries/Compressed air.

Big citys and heavy industry= nuclear source, no greener way to get the concentrated power needed.
