The Worlds Largest Solar Power Plant

The worlds largest solar power plant is to be built in the United States' Mojave Desert. Because of the deserts dry climate the Sun is free to unleashes its power without any mercy. Since California wants 20 percent of the states power to be generated from renewable sources by 2010, projects such as these seem like a clear solution to their energy demands.

The project is expected to coast $2 billion with an extra $1 billion for additional plants that will power up about 375,000 homes in California. The solar power plants are expected to generate around 500 megawatts and those extra-plants would produce 400 megawatts of energy.

Coal is not the answer!!!

Democates Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama Spoke openly today about the topic of "clean coal". While coal is one of the most unclean forms of fossil fuels and their efforts to clean up the industry are noble, the focus should stand on the fact that it none the less contributed to Global Warming. Both democratic candidates are supporting an agenda which plans to support commercially untested and so far economically nonviable ways of converting coal into electricity without producing large quantities of (Co2) greenhouse and Sulfur Dioxide.

The focus needs to be placed in the direction of cleaner sources of energy such as Solar, Bio, and Wind. Regardless of the method in which coal is processed it remains a strong producer of the worlds Co2 emissions.
