Solar Thermal (steam turbine) power could be one answer to solar power 24/7

Could Solar Thermal such as the unique thermosolar power station in southern Spain shrug off cloudy days?… Well.. YES: energy stored when the sun shines lets it produce electricity even during the night. The Gemasolar station, up and running since last May 2012, stands out in the plains of Andalusia.

Since then there have been a few more like this one in the US….. at the Ivanpah solar thermal plant in California (neat Vegas), a 400 megawatt facility that uses mirrors to reflect sunlight onto energy towers instead of burning coal to make steam.

Concentrated solar power (also called concentrating solar power, concentrated solar thermal, and CSP) systems generate solar power by using mirrors or lenses to concentrate a large area of sunlight onto a small area.
See how it works:

The Kids are on Strike and seem to be getting anxious, they have good reason…


So now the Children have to take charge

So now the Children have to take charge, I say “let them” because they will probably do a far better job than most adults, we have become so addicted to School results, University, Money, wealth, GDP that we are not seeing the “wood for the trees”…

What’s the point in Education if we completely ignore the Educated, the Science, the Evidence?

Climate change is not the only thing… There’s no denying… The state of the oceans, Species collapse, deforestation, pollution, inequality… the list goes on… the system is Broken, we need to fix it, or should i say the kids will have to… They are feeling it and are starting to panic… Good.
