Solar power kicks ass

Why oh why, can't we have giant pyramids of light all over the world fuelling our insatiable need for more power. Well if the future is anything like the Spanish countryside we soon will. This ray tower is just plan cool (not) and focuses the light of 1000 mirrors onto some water which is turned into steam and drives a turbine. I saw a documentary about how it all works and it makes a lot more sense then traditional solar cells which try to convert the suns rays directly into power. Its 100% green and with all this free land in Aus we should be building a few of these suckers to power us into the next billenium. So get cracking government. Stop worrying about nuclear and get started on some serious solutions to the problems!

Yeah, that's the ticket. But clearly $18M isn't enough. That'll never make enough power to run my collection of christmas lights. They should pump billions into the technology and give me a 5% cut.
