I have the specs in front of me: In order to have a respectable capacity of 200MW the plant must have the following configuration: Tower Height - a whopping 3,280 feet Tower Diameter - 393 feet Collector Diamter - 22,965ft THATS OVER 4.5 miles! Itll take about 3 years to produce as much energy as is took to build the thing. The idea is great, but it's just too MASSIVE to be competitive even today. I hope they find a way around the upright tower thats the killer Totally unfeasible. …
