The new solar field, with its 60 metre-high tower and some 1,641 mirrors, sits on about 12,000 square metres of Israel's southern Negev Desert.

While it is capable of generating 1.5 megawatts, it does not produce electricity for public use, but rather test the technologies that will power future plants, which will be about 50 times larger than the one in Israel.

    This type of Power Plants can be put in 90 sunbelt countries. With HVDC powerlines 90% of the population of the world can use this energy. Only 0,5% of the surface of the Sahara is sufficient to supply the consumption of the whole world's elektricity.

  • the true answer

    the problem with this type of power production is that it cant handle the total need of the people. if these companies and governement want to really help .. why not put solar panels on all the homes and let us generate power for ourselves .. oh but the power companies would loose money so we cant do that.
