Solar Plant in Australia breaks records, proves solar energy can replace fossil fuels
The plant broke records heating steam to "supercritical" temperatures with solar energy. This paves the way for solar to replace gas and coal at energy producing plants.

"It's like breaking the sound barrier; this step change proves solar has the potential to compete with the peak performance capabilities of fossil fuel sources," Dr Alex Wonhas. The Energy Centre uses a field of more than 600 mirrors (known as heliostats) which are all directed at two towers housing solar receivers and turbines.

It's a start! Hopefully, they will figure out a way to get around it! It's worth it to replace finite resources which pollute!!!!!

Compared to the birds and wildlife that oil has destroyed over the decades, it may be worth doing actual apple-to-apple comparisons to find out which one is more eco-friendly...

damn right.... i actually think the birds would change their flight routes over time... marvelous news, you know me.. also to, one that has slipped under the radar was our successful test of geothermal.. that's right... big heat cores sunk in the desert that steam water ;)

Sounds like it can be worked around easy with nets of some sort. It sure seems safer than atomic water boilers.

That rarely happens. More birds are killed by vehicles driving down highways, than by solar panels.

Solar does work, I'm proof of it...since 1999 I've had solar power. It's photovoltaic and not thermal like Australia is doing, but it's solar nonetheless.

Re: Solar Plant in Australia breaks records, proves solar energy can replace fossil fuels
It will come. The naysayers are only delaying the inevitable because there personal cash cow is tied to fossil fuel somehow.

The typical favorite argument is start up cost, like with solar roadways, but that is irrelevant because what we are talking about pays for itself and then keeps producing long after it done doing that. Unlike fossil fuels.

its currious how allways the environmental movement is used to brock any alternative to fosil fuels ...

solar cells kill insects that thing they are lakes ..

wind farms kill birds with their props ..

now solar boilers kill birds smoking them on flight ..

next ? a pee tax ? as you piss release carbon heat in the air ? put methane filters in cow butt holes to capture the gas?

the world is already fucked , it had gone into accelerated
atmospheric migration to open space , will evaporate like a moth ball ....that is why they found plankton in ISS windows
because its getting up there directly being carried by electric negative currents from the earth surface ....

and once this hits a certain point is irreversible earth will be a dried prune in space ... cool2
