ecoworldly.com — Solar thermal energy plants focus the glare of the Sun’s rays on a central location to create heat, which is then turned into electricity. These amazing arrays come in all shapes and sizes and many of them are design marvels on top of being great clean energy generators.

my community in AZ is building a solar thermal power generator with scrapyard parts i.e., very little money. everything is on target so far.

Where have US and UK governments been while fossil fuel reserves have been depleting rapidly, OPEC is massively influencing the price of oil, and nuclear/ fossil fuel plants have been de-commissioned? Hiding their heads in the sand/ fighting wars/ not caring about obscene oil and energy prices for their citizens, or much too busy making/ losing money on the world's financial markets/ share investments?GOVERNMENTS DID FORESEE THE PRESENT SITUATION> IT DIDN'T HAPPEN OVERNIGHT.Who pays, WE DO as private individuals TOTALLY LET DOWN BY LACK OF PREPARATION FOR TODAY'S SITUATIONby GOVERNMENTS WHO DO NOT CARE and who have DELIBERATELY NOT ACTED.........................................! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

There is a significant drawback to building large scale green energy projects in the middle of nowhere, having extra power on the grid doesn't do you any good if you can't get it to where it is needed. If you would like to educate yourself, check out the situation that occurs in west Texas on many days. The abundance of wind energy production in west Texas creates a situation where the wholesale price per MW goes negative, i.e. the companies who own the wind generation units PAY to put the energy on the grid. It is literally worth less than nothing, until the subsidies are factored in. A MW of energy produced in the middle of the desert is not equal to a MW of energy produced in a congested part of the grid, even before losses are factored in.

Biofuels aren't the obvious short term (20 year) solution, the success or failure of any of the currently contending successors to oil is heavily dependent on current and future research successes, such as large scalable algae based fuel or supercaps. Give it some time before screaming wildly about success. Go ahead and invest your money in biofuels if you're so confident, but I'll still hold my money until something becomes mature enough to fuel my future.

Wow, now you're talking about a negative profit. The cost of such conversion facilities, many hydrogen powered trucks, and the loss due to conversion, just wow. Hydrogen is no near term solution, I put it almost as far off as fusion.

Hopefully governments will spend taxpayer earnings more on infrastructure necessities like this and less on forcing conflicting narrow moral rules over hundreds of millions of extremely diverse people, thus ensuring endless domestic conflict. Morality is best decided locally by the community. Giant engineering projects that benefit the whole civilization are best handled federally or nationally.
