Solar Tower - EnviroMission reduces green house CO2 emission

EnviroMission Solar Tower Wins Southern California Public Power Authority: Press Release on Enviromission's website.

Large plants that use coal/natural gas produce a gigawatt, therefore you will absolutely need all five towers shown at the end to compensate. It seems it would be costly due to size and amount of panels needed, nevertheless, a good investment for the environment

Panels? What panels?

It seems that it will not be built in the near future, but it really is a good and reliable technology that will likely be built eventually. It is too bad that it isn't already being used instead of all of those non-environmental power producing methods.

I offer a question, what if instead of the ground under the dome to water, would increase the power?

before i learnt how the solar tower works, i thought this was a huge mirror array / dish.. n i was like what!! those people elevatorin' to the top are gonna get toasted!!! lolz

supercool

and require a lot more steal work, and be a lot harder to maintain, costing more, working less.

It's really? No news from company since 2007. Poorly information in official EnviroMission website. Anyway, what is building progression status? The building is started or not??? No information - no investment.

They ran into problems in their home country, Australia, because of the enormous coal lobby. Australia is a huge coal exporter so makes sense. So they went on to buy solarmission technologies in the us through a stock exchange deal. They finally aquired that company and now plan on towers in arizona i think. But I really hope they get some more support on the home market so that they can build the first tower in Mildura as planned.
