This is THE solar project in South Eastern Australia. The massive tube will stand higher than
the Eiffel Tower and be surrounded by a wide skirt of glasshouse type structures. Heat from the
sun will be trapped on the underside of this skirt and its only way of escape would be up the
tower — past turbines which generated the power. Initially the plan was for a 1000m high
tower to create up to 200MW of electricity. But later the project was scaled back to 50MW
from 400 meters of tower. It will be ready in 2012.
