(Solar) Power to the Masses

Posted by michael on from the spf-5000 dept.

D3 writes "This report on a solar power tower (pdf) looks extremely interesting. Maybe one day we can have international power lines where all the countries with lots of sunshine provide power to the rest of the world? How cool would that be?" The NY Times has a good article on solar power in Japan.

    We would cut unemployment by 90%, crime by 50% and create electricity.

    Everyone happy.
