A Town in a Solar Tower!
posted in Energy |Now this is cool stuff: I just read on Engadget that there’s an effort underway to get the town of Seville completely powered by a single solar tower. This is how we need to get people thinking all the time. There’s a lot of construction going on around San Francisco these days, and I can’t help but think how different things would be if the government put the right carrots and sticks in place. Carrots helping builders and property owners who reduce their power intake/needs. Sticks penalizing new construction that is a resource hog.
Any elected officials reading this? I do vote nowadays, and I’m sure there’s a lot more people out there who’d like to see you paying more attention to projects like these, and using a few less of my tax dollars to figure out if baseball players are cheating or not…
