Default Re: Wow new kind of solar energy

It works by focusing the reflected rays on one location, turning water into steam and then blasting it into turbines to generate power.

A system like this has been around for almost 30 years. I know someone that developed such a system and tried to get it used in the late 70s to no avail.

Also, solar although having some benefits does have a drawback of not always being the most cost-efficient way to tap energy. The return on investment and maintenance is very problematic.
