More overly optomistic statements. It shows no appreciation of deminishing returns, impacts on ecology, water table impacts, geography, grid stability, capital costs or basic economics
The optimism is reflected in the Solar Thermal industry and I have not seen any evidence from any other power generation industries that criticize Solar Thermal. If you are aware of any, you are most welcome to post the information to help enlighten the us all. We eagerly await the details.
