Nevada Solar One uses parabolic trough technology, so far the most economical system in use. It also happens to be right up the street (so to speak) from my house. I watched it being built, and snuck into the plant for a peek until the onsite security guy finished his donut and ran me off. I can't believe they gave that goof a gun.:suss: Still, he was nice about it. I'm working on getting our people here at the tribal power company a tour of the plant next Fall, since we may soon be building our own.:) (Shhh... you didn't hear that from me. I'm still spreading the rumor that the tribe is building a nuclear plant. We've got the river; we just need an active fault to build the facility atop.)

You know this is not a news desk and coping content from the new york times is not really a good idea.

I'm installing air-air heat exhanger based heating in my house at present - this basically uses solar heating and a heat pump to achieve nearly 400% efficiency. The units are pricey to buy compared to gas central heating but cheaper to run and I hope the govt. might consider a rebate or interest free load scheme to cover the extra hardware cost... Ideally I'd have gone with a ground source heat exchanger but don't have sufficient garden space :-(

How is something molten not a liquid? And presumably we're not talking about NaCl here since it's melting point is around 800 degrees C. Very sloppy reporting...

Sofware_Specialist, what you did was illegal. You put The Code Project at risk from copyright holders by reproducing their content verbatim without permission. Please don't. Plus, we'd far rather you gave an insightful summary of the full article which you can link to.

Wow. I see that in your short time here you've been routinely blasted for being a tad... let's say, "impolite". But i'm gonna try to be polite in this reply, on the off-chance that you're just new to this whole "written communication" thing:

When you quote from someone else's article, always attribute your quote. This should include at minimum the original title, author, and publication. If the article is on a website, then include a hyperlink to that site. If don't know how to include hyperlinks in your post, then ask. If posting from a periodical, then include the publication date.
Don't quote an entire article unless the original is unreachable. You should also attempt to obtain permission from the author.
Include your own thoughts. Why did you find the article interesting? What made you think others would? What sort of comments would you like to see?

Please keep these guidelines in mind when next you post something of this nature.
