SHPEGS — DIY Solar/Geothermal Electricity

Posted by kdawson on Monday May 14, 2007 @02:30PM from the taking-back-the-power dept.

rohar writes "SHPEGS is an open design not-for-profit project to design and prototype a base-load renewable electrical generation system suitable for moderate climates and built from common materials. The design centers around creating a local geothermal source with an efficient solar thermal water heater system and can be scaled from single residence to mega-scale. The heliostat system used in Europe's first solar thermal plant could be used in a scaled-down SHPEGS system with Practical Solar's small scale heliostats."

If we are to believe even half of what Al Gore is spouting

How could you NOT believe Al Gore? After all, he DID invent the internet!
