fair enough, is just that your calculation on power generation put it as being massively better than the best commercially available solar power, which struck me as wildly optimistic
- msandford 12y agoIt's only better until you figure in the costs to make it work. Nobody cares about actual efficiency, they care about dollars per watt. Even at 38% (which you can't get) there's no way it would be cheaper than PV because of all the infrastructure you'd need to concentrate sunlight and do all the piping, etc.
