Land was recently purchased in Australia for the construction of a 1-kilometer
tall Solar Tower. It will consist of a huge solar collector skirt surrounding
a giant chimney. The sun would heat air beneath the skirt, which would then rise
up the chimney to drive 32 turbines, producing 200 megawatts of power, as much
as a small nuclear reactor. The Solar Tower would provide safe, renewable energy.
