Water and Concentrated Solar Power
Concentrated solar power – CSP – has the potential to bring energy to remote areas of the world. The heat of the sun is reflected off rows of mirrors onto a central tower, transforming water into steam and turning a turbine which then generates electricity. But these plants have a fatal flaw – they are …
