  • @kousoulides We do

    They can't generate nearly as much power as a nuclear power plant, though

    look up "solar power tower" on wikipedia

  • @BKInbound Ok lefty!

  • Thank you, Aziz.

  • @kousoulides The Sun only produces so much energy. If every country were to do this, there wouldn't be enough energy left from the sun to light and heat the earth.
