Boing Boing: Solar power plant looks heavenly
Topic: Miscellaneous 5:54 pm EDT, May  6, 2007

This 40 story tall tower just outside Seville, Spain is actually a new solar thermal power plant. Operated by Sol�car Energ�a, the facility uses 600 mirrors on the ground to tightly focus the sun's rays on water pipes at the top of the tower. The heat converts the water into steam that drive turbines to generate electricity. It's the photo of the reflected solar rays hitting the tower that really impresses me though.

It really is gorgeous...
