the pdf is 11megabytes.
worth the download.

Subject: [SOLAR] All Energy for Europe Could Come from Concentrating Solar
Power (CSP)]
Hello,
It's been pretty quiet on this list lately but here's something that
should wake you up. Below is a copy of my post to the Sierra Club in
Michigan, regarding a CSP study for Europe. The full report is a huge pdf
file but well worth the read. A link to it is below.
Regards,
Lowell Prag

Greetings,
Below is a study on the same concentrating solar power (CSP) that I have
been advocating for hydrogen production in our desert areas but in this
case, instead of concentrating the sunlight on multijunction pv cells for
production of electricity to create hydrogen via electrolysis, the
sunlight is focused on steam engine generators to produce electricity for
distribution on the energy grid.
Normally, it is not possible to transmit electricity long distances using
AC electricity but a way is now proposed, to combine it with high voltage
DC electricity which does make it possible.
In short, CSP can play a huge role in weaning us from fossil fuels and any
one who is concerned with global warming and the other related problems
associated with fossil fuels, should avail themselves of learning more
about this CSP technology.

Lowell Prag
All Energy for Europe Could Come from Concentrating Solar Power (CSP)
"A study commissioned by the German Government shows in detail how Europe
(including the UK and Ireland) can meet all its needs for electricity, cut
emissions of CO2 from electricity generation by 70% by the year 2050, and
phase out nuclear power at the same time, using concentrating solar power
(CSP), according to a release from Trans-Mediterranean Renewable Energy
Cooperation (TREC)."

Here is contact info on Dr. Franz Trieb who directed
the CSP study and links to the full report:

Maybe Al Gore will make a similar CSP study for the USA, his next project.
Maybe the Sierra Club will take the initiative and propose such a CSP study.
