Using the Sahara for baseload solar power: the Nur Energie plan for Tunisian CSP | Carbon Commentary
Solar Roadways - Introduction
The development of solar technology moves rapidly. In a few years it will take over as the main source of power. This of course fails to address the problem of the left wing climate change taleban .. which is that driving expensive cars and consumption of high end "rich persons" toys will become environmentally acceptable. The left will have to find another totem on which to pursue their anti capitalist anti rich agenda.Let us not forget EU open doors immigration benefits IT contractors more than anyoneComment

Is huge centralised generation really the best way? There's a lot of rooves in the UK that are essentially doing nothing. If near enough every house and office had solar panels the power would be used locally and you wouldn't need the massive investment in power lines.Will work inside IR35. Or for food.Comment

Current technologies cannot deliver this, hence we need massive investment in innovation.My subconscious is annoying. It's got a mind of its own.Comment
