Solar Done Heavenly
What's got Boing Boing hearing a choir of angels? A solar power plant in Spain, that's what.
The forty-story tower on the outskirts of Seville uses an array of mirrors (each larger than a car) on the ground to focus the sun's energy onto a solar "receiver" that turns water into steam, which in turn, is used to spin turbines.
BBC News has the full story, including the author's ascent into the "dazzling" spectacle.
