Beautiful Solar Tower

The BBC is currently featuring an article on the strange and beautiful Solúcar Energía power plant in Andalusia. Sunlight is reflected by 600 huge mirrors, each measuring 120m²(!!), onto a 40-storey high tower, delivering a massive 11MW of energy from steam turbines. Not only is this an incredible achievement of science, it’s utterly beautiful.
