YES solar power has potential to cure many of our planet’s energy problems and keep CO2 out of our atmosphere. A revolutionary power system near Seville, Spain harnesses the power of the sun to liquefy (boil) salt. That boiling salt is then used to turn water into steam, which powers turbines, creating electricity. It is a closed loop system that creates no waste. Incredible and a shining beacon which can be seen for many miles.
A field of solar panels are directed at this high tower, which shines with a brilliance that can be seen from many miles away. Inside the tower, salt is liquified by the intense heat generated by the panels directed energy. That liquified salt, at more than 500 degrees centigrade, turns water into steam which turbines use to create electricity. It is a brilliant system and causes one to wonder, ‘why aren’t these towers sprouting up around the world?’
