Solar Power Minus the Light

An anonymous reader writes "Popular Science is running a story about a small company trying to take advantage of all the global warming hype. Matteran Energy uses 'thermal-collection technology to heat a synthetic fluid with a very low boiling point (around 58F), creating enough steam to drive a specially designed turbine. And although a fluid-circuit system converting heat into electricity is nothing new, Matterans innovative solution increases the systems efficiency to a point where small-scale applications make economic sense.' Notably, this comes during a record breaking heat wave here in the US. So has the day finally arrived where I can run my AC off of all that heat outdoors?"

I bet you wouldn't mind looking at the windmills if I put some porn on them. Eh. You like that. I bet you do. You so dirty.

Anyone else confirm this (or, prove yet again, that I'm talking out of my arse?)

I don't know about that, but I've just thought of a great place to put a wind turbine.
