What's the status on this thing?

Great video! Solar Power will become a great energy resource in the future! Here in Hawaii - we have lots of sun and many people are choosing wind turbines, and solar panels as a great alternative to oil, coal and natural gas! Clean energy is the future of the world! See pristinesun . com/what-we-do.html for information on how to save 20% on your electrical bill every month & get solar panels installed for free for your business or non-profit co. in any state in US! Aloha & Mahalo! AJ

Amazing!

i wander if we could use these things to power the world?
it just seems like it would take up to much land though.

1000 towers = 50000 homes 1 tower = 50 homes Cool now I want to purchase a 1/4 scale size one for a cooperative effort with my neighbors.

Time to get the world to go renewable - we believe solar is the future!

50K homes if they are the same old stupid homes currently used if they would go one step further and build energy efficient dome homes that same plant would power 150k homes. Every home should at least have solar heated water.Eventually we will get all our energy from wind hydro and solar that is for transportation too.

Great video. Its encouraging to see states like Utah taking steps towards renewable energy, more so as the state has substantial fossil fuel resources. It is hoped that renewable energy like solar will gradually replace fossil fuel, and hence a cleaner environment. Pacific Crest Transformers has more information on the renewable energy sector. You can also read whitepapers and articles on alternate energy at the Pacific Crest Transformers website.

you think besides a weight problem that glass would be more efficient?
It is progressing steadily. The first plant is in production in Needles, California. California has a lot of red tape that slows down the process. From what I understand though, the company is advancing on many fronts and hopefully we will see competetively priced solar power sooner than later.

Yes. The system uses zinc batteries to store energy overnight.

IAS has just announced the construction of their first solar energy plant to be constructed in Needles, California. You can read the news story by searching the stock symbol IAUS and reading the news bulliten. Good news for the company, the economy, and for the environment.

The first full scale working prototype should be up and running in the next couple of months. Each tower will produce 50 Kilowatts. Approximately 20 towers can be erected on 1 acre of land. Roughly 1 Megawatt can be produced for every acre of land!- All cheaper than coal. This is really cool!

In answer to Coachkool1: Yes, I have gotten that question a lot. You can buy the stock through any broker or discount broker such as Scottrade or Etrade. Symbol: IAUS. It is cheap right now. Probably won't be for long. I hear the company is really close to completing their initial project. 1-3 months probably. I bought some.

To answer teleski82's question, the sun's rays are focued and magnified to super-heat molten salt, which in turn powers the bladeless jet steam turbine. This results in dramatically more energy production than any prior solar technology has been able to achieve.
