Solar power will help reduce cancer by reducing our exposure to the dreaded but often forgotten benzine molecule, found in gasoline. Desert solar power can be added to our current grid right at peak times, when we need it most, the less transmission, however, the lower the losses, so expect factories to spring up near solar desert installations, where there is lots of room, by the way, for modern, practically sized, realistically designed, eco-homes that exploit solar, geothermal, wind, super-insuation and home gardening , a modern day Walden Pond of survival that will make America stronger and more stable in the energy/food pinch to come !

Very good news, even though this is just an announcement and the project is still ‘in the future’. However, so large a project needs longer time in planning, administrative licensing, financial arrangements, etc. I think, that the solar power harvesting technologies are going to substantially improve their efficiency rates, very soon.

This is a fantastic … to avoid negatively effecting wildlife, we should shift as much of our energy generation to places desert/near desert areas as possible. If you’re interested in hearing more about BrightSource, their CEO, John Woolard, will be a featured speaker at Renewable Energy Finance Forum-Wall Street, held June 18-19, 2008 in NYC at the Waldorf=Astoria. Mr. Woolard will be speaking during the Solar Thermal session along with the CEOs of Acciona and Abengoa Solar! The website is http://www.reffwallstreet.com
