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:

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.
