The shifting shafts of shining weave the fabric of their dreams...

Here is another engineering wonder. A 40 story concrete tower surrounded by 600 mirrors situated to focus the suns energy at the top of the tower. This is the Seville (Spain) Solar Thermal Power Plant.


From the site...

"It is Europe's first commercially operating power station using the Sun's energy this way and at the moment its operator, Solucar, proudly claims that it generates 11 Megawatts (MW) of electricity without emitting a single puff of greenhouse gas.

This current figure is enough to power up to 6,000 homes."


"But ultimately, the entire plant should generate as much power as is used by the 600,000 people of Seville."

"It works by focusing the reflected rays on one location, turning water into steam and then blasting it into turbines to generate power. "
