ASolar Tower that's being proposed is making waves in Australia. The thing, if it is built is gonna be huge, 7km wide and 1km high. It also produces energy at night and doesn't rely on the need for constant wind flow to operate.
quote:
A 1-kilometer tower can produce 200 megawatts, enough electricity to power 200,000 homes. This energy output will represent an annual savings of 830,000 tons of greenhouse CO2 gases from entering the atmosphere.
"One of these plants would produce as much electricity as a small nuclear reactor, so they are a very serious proposition," Harper said.
The government hasn't thrown money at it yet, but there's growing support. |
