1000 MW of Solar in the Negev?

Science & Technology (alternative energy)

We’ve written about David Faiman before and his quest to perfect a system for concentrating solar energy. The Israeli academic claims that, using his designs, an array covering 4.6 sq. mi. in Israel's Negev desert could generate as much as 1,000 MW, or 10% of the country’s energy needs, and he claims the price should be competitive with coal-fired power plants. Now we’ve come across this video on YouTube allowing us to see first hand what the man is up to.

PacWind has come up with a new portable design for wind power generation. This one is suitable for home use as well. Jay Leno had used this one for his garage.

This is good. I like there to be as many options for affordable renewable energy as possible. But it has nothing at all to do with this post. Wait a few hours for the next post on wind power to make that comment.
