There is no technical reason why CSP cannot become competitive with other technologies, especially if you factor in the cost in lives, health, and global warming from the alternatives such as coal and natural gas from fracking. Of course it is not competitive now. If I had a cold fusion

When I lived in SoCal I visited Dr. Rueda several times to discuss his work on inertia and the electromagnetic zero-point field. their seminal paper came out in 1994. Dr. Rueda did the math in that paper, which is way above my pay-grade! I now see that they've been applying their work to

I meant to say I am sure a 1,600 acre strip mine would NOT produce 110 MW continuously for a century. I did a rough estimate here which bears that out. The strip mine will last 10 to 30 years at best. After the strip mine is closed down it will be a toxic wasteland, whereas after the CPS is
