Solar Towers
Business 2.0 has an fascinating article on Roger Davey, his company Enviromission, and the ambitious plan to build a 1600-foot solar tower in the Australian Outback providing a renewable-energy source that can provide power for 100,000 homes. The design is truly remarkable, essentially a supersized pipe that forces hot air heated by the sun to pass through turbines to produce electricity.
Business 2.0 has this concept listed as one of their "31 best business ideas in the world".
