(LOOKS LIKE IT’S ALL ABOUT MIRRORS IN THE DESERT.)

The key technology for tapping in to the solar energy is ‘concentrating solar thermal power’ (CSTP), which means using mirrors to concentrate sunlight to create heat. The heat may be used to raise steam to drive turbines and generators in the conventional way or it may drive Stirling engines with generators. CSTP is very different from the better-known photovoltaics (PV, sometimes called ‘solar panels’) and should not be confused with it. However, in ‘concentrating PV’ plants (CPV), mirrors are used to concentrate sunlight on to special heat-resistant PV panels which convert the concentrated sunlight into electricity. As the price of PV comes down, it is likely to become increasingly important for large-scale generation of electricity in desert regions.

In a stinging rebuff to the United Nations and its anti-poverty efforts, Eritrea, (just below Egypt on the Red Sea) one of the poorest countries in Africa, has told the world body that it wants out of its long-term development agreement because the U.N. makes the problem worse, not better. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2697361/posts
