Here we go again, this remark exactly reenforces the point I was making about your style - more slogans, more ridicule, same old distraction, same lack of substance, same methodology of affront the messenger when you don't like the message and most importantly, absolutely no evidence presented beyond an opinion. Some might say, somewhat careless in delivery.

I will re-iterate my summary of oberservations from the articles I have read about appropriately situated Solar Thermal CSP power, with thermal storage;

1. Clean near zero emissions

2. Projected to be cost competitive with coal and eventually cheaper over the longer term.

3. Up to 70% capacity factors when appropriately situated. Backup alternate energy reserve an obvious requirement, subject to thermal storage reserves Vs average daily loads. Potential for higher capacity factors with the right mix of storage and energy capture relative to load.

You might contend the articles, but you can't reasonably contend my reporting of them which is a fairly accurate reflection of them.

Next time, try to stay on point, because the rest really is boring for people I suspect.
