How come they never tell us how much it is actually going to cost to set up and run these “miracle energy supply plants”? I would bet my bottom dollar it won’t be cost effective - that is, unless they charge the consumer an arm and a leg for their “product”.
Ironically the "Power Tower" concept is one of the most low-tech yet economically feasible solar designs. It has been around for at least thirty years to my direct knowledge, and could serve to provide a real contribution while all the hi-tech nano space age wet dreams of engineers languish in smallcap limbo.
If it works, use it. What the hell.
