Solar Energy Plant in Spain
I keep hearing energy debates on how to tackle our dependence on oil and reduce our green house gas emissions. Today I read a report on how Spain is turning the debate into a real life test case. The article is Spain Runs Europe’s First Commercial Solar Plant. The plant is using the sun’s rays to heat water to run steam generators. If this solar energy plant works, this could be a real energy solution for sunny locales. It is exciting to see global warming move from a debate to a real world scenario.

Global warming is a farse, Oil demand is not, Solar solutions have been predicted for over 40 years, and today solar effeiciency is is only at 25-30 % and that is in space. I like the freedom of gas and its it ability to operate many machines. Electicicty has the potentail but not yet. when batteries become highly storagable units then electrictiy then and only then will it be vaiable in transportation other than fixed , or magnetic field.
