Solar, so good

desert

Solar power plants are like buses, aren’t they? You wait for one in the middle of a desert in the US and then three turn up in Spain.

No? Anyone?

Oh alright, to get to the point. According to the folks over at the Guardian, here:

    “Acciona Energy, which this year opened the largest solar thermal plant built in 16 years, plans a project more three times its size in a desert in the US West, its CEO said in an interview.”

And news from the Old World, courtesy of CNN Money.com here: SunPower is building three solar power plants in Castilla La Mancha, totally 21 megawatts.
