how are we going to rip guys off when can get almost free power.
100 square miles of hydro solar would do it
and add in following
no coal mines
no co2
no coal ash
no Mercury
it almost free
and sun goes out i think we will have bigger problems then how to run are ac
Last year the first commercial solar plant with heat storage opened near Guadix, Spain, east of Granada. During the day, sunlight from a mirror field is used to heat molten salt. In the evening, as the salt cools, it gives back heat to make more steam. In Arizona the Solana Generating Station will also use molten salt for storage. When it goes on line in 2012, three square miles of parabolic troughs will produce 280 megawatts for Phoenix and Tucson. Solana is being built by a Spanish company, Abengoa Solar—an indication of just how far, in the development of this technology, the United States has fallen behind.
Back in the 1980s, an engineer named Roland Hulstrom calculated that if photovoltaic panels—the other big solar technology—covered just three-tenths of a percent of the United States, a 100-by-100-mile square, they could electrify the entire country.

your missing point . these guys are using mirror to heat salt to make steam to Run a turbine.
that why these plant work at night.
