I had a conversation the other day with a colleague of mine about the need for alternate power sources due to the decline of natural resources and the increase in petrol prices. That was when I started to look at what was currently being done to help sole this global problem.
Then I found this interesting video about how the people of Seville (Spain) have developed a "Golden" tower surrounded by 600 reflectors each the size of half a tennis court. Concentrating the suns energy to a central point on the tower. Enabling the tower to produce high amounts of electricity. With 9 of these towers there should be enough electricity to power the entire city of Seville. I applaud the efforts of the people in Spain and hope in the future more countries will follow in their foot steps.
