You may be wondering, how will we have electricity at night or during cloudy weather?
Will we use large banks of batteries or burn candles?
The ability to utilize solar thermal technology after the sun sets is made possible by a storage system that is up to 93% efficient, according to Ausra’s executive vice president John O’Donnell.
High efficiency is achieved because solar thermal plants do not need to convert energy to another form in order to store it and do not rely on battery technology. Flat moving recflectors or parabolic mirrors focus solar energy to generate heat. This heat generates steam that turns turbines, thus generating an electric current.
If you want to generate electricity-at, say, 3 am-heat from the sun can be stored for later use. This gives solar thermal technology the ability to not just produce peak power, but also generate base load electricity.
In case you didn't know how solar plants worked.
Your other claims there are fairly baseless as well. And I wouldn't characterize it as a 'hissy fit' when I call you out on making up bullshit to support your claims.
