"In a time where money is in very short supply, why would we ever consider building a solar power plant."
Reply
Because scientists have proved that a 100 square mile CSP solar plant in a place like Arizona could power the entire United States? Because every bit of power that comes from solar doesn't come from the House of Saud or feed money into the hands of terrorists? Because it's long overdue.-

Okay, I'm calling you on this. The technology simply does not support a claim like that. With a grid like that we'd have a problem keeping Vegas lite up.

Secondly, House of Saud? Since when did they buy coal mines or more importantly, since when did we have cars that ran on electricity that didn't create a potential nightmare environmentally?
You want to stop funding the folks who hate us? I mean Middle Eastern, Mexican or Venezuelan oil interests. Start converting your coal to gasoline. The process exists and could produce something similar to crude oil for about $ 45.00 per barrel. The coal is here, the jobs are here, the profits stay here. Are you following along? By processing it from coal, you also can increase or decrease the carbon in the coal. The waste byproducts for the most part are used in modern plastics so there isn't the worry or concern about waste. You're able to sell them at a modest profit to. It is a win, win. But for some reason, even though the science doesn't support it, carbon is "evil" now.
