Here Comes the Sun - Concentrated Solar Power!

The public is invited to hear solar energy expert, Bruce Anderson, present Here Comes the Sun - Concentrated Solar Power at a Science, Reason & Religion forum at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Fairfax, 2709 Hunter Mill Rd in Oakton on Sunday, November 16 at 12:30pm.  The event will be held in the Chapel in the Program Building.

Looming climate disruption and the urgent need to redress electricity injustices for 1.6 billion powerless people pose a daunting challenge: how to deliver power-producing technology that operates reliably 24/7 and is also economical and non-polluting. Even with battery storage, wind and photovoltaics (solar cells) cannot operate reliably 24/7 every day of the year.

However, a second solar technology called concentrated solar power (CSP) is emerging as a possible power-producing technology that operates reliably 24/7 and is also economical and non-polluting.

 This talk will describe the technology and how its performance and economics can address both climate change the delivery of power to people without, and in a way that operates economically and reliably all day, every day.
