This is a fairly informative and recent presentation of the efforts to go to thermal solar for our electricity production. |

Very interesting. I have seen other information on the thermal solar programs which looked very promising. |

one thing they are still not exploring is the use of soil or bedrock for thermal storage even though there are at least two projects doing that. I guess I will have to make my own project and make some noise about it. |

It has been a while so my memory may not be perfect, but it seems there was a project in Spain, maybe, that was using underground storage via melted salt compounds. It may have only been in the planning stages, but I remember the discussion of how the energy would cycle vertically. |

It may have been the power tower facility in Seville, but I have found no reference to specific underground storage at that site. An article on the subject of storage: http://www.scientificamerican.com/artic ... y-at-night |

Thanks for sharing useful informative video of thermal solar, I think now a day solar power technologies will efficiently provide benefits to both the user and the environment. |
