A CSP would be more complicated because you need to keep your concentrator (mirror, lens) aimed at the sun. Then you need some sort of plumbing to transfer the heat energy to something like a steam engine or turbine which is connected to your...

A new study by Greenpeace International, the European Solar Thermal Electricity Association and the International Energy Agency considers three different potential scenarios for concentrated solar power's (CSP) growth over the next few decades. In...
Realistically? Don't ask me that. I'm a pessimist. To many political problems.
Optimistically? Close to 100%. Easy. It's just a matter of will.
Balancing the two, 25% seems reasonable. But we are soon going...
This article about a solar power startup talks a lot about "magnifying" sunlight. What do they mean?
"Start-up: Affordable solar power possible in a year", USA Today, 4/28/08:...
A better word would be "concentrate". "Magnify" seems to suggest getting something for nothing. I agree that the article doesn't adequately explain the physics of the product. However, it's true that photovoltaic efficiency can be
Battery Electric Cars will use primarily grid power which currently is polluting as coal is the primary fuel. I think it is settled that overall transferring power creation to a central station is less polluting than having it in many individual...
Pumped-storage hydro is a commonly used method. There are hundreds of working installations around the world.

SEVILLE, Spain, Dec. 7, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Abengoa (MCE: ABG), the international company that applies innovative technology solutionsfor sustainable development in the energy and environment sectors, has been awarded the first two CSP projects in South Africa by South Africa's Department of Energy. These two projects contribute to South Africa's goal to introduce up to 17,800 MW of renewable energy by 2030 and reduce its dependence on oil and natural gas.
Interview with DESERTEC : Have Spare Desert and Sun to Let? | FC ...
As a prelude to the upcoming MENASOL 2010 Conference, Green Prophet have been interviewing some of the keynotes and featured guests.
Today they spoke with Oliver Steinmetz, from the European Investment Bank. Oliver’s a co-founder and volunteer board member for the DESERTEC Foundation , a small NGO founded in 2008 by private persons -with money from their own pockets, to promote the DESERTEC idea of extracting for clean energy from desert regions to distribute in regions with less sun, like Europe on an international grid.
The project is expected to have important implications for Europe and Africa, and hopefully also the Middle East. Looking to technologies that can make energy out of desert regions, DESERTEC hopes to set an eco-standard and technology certification, like the FSC Forestry Label.
