is just a way like any other to heat, it will not help us to propel a train ...
Besides, renewable energies are often sidelined for their inability to generate as much energy as petroleum or nuclear.
is archival because you do not read what I write!
On can store underground intermittent summer solar heat concentrated by parabolic or other cylindro collectors at 300 ° C, exactly as it has been stored underground in volcanoes for 4 billion years, and use this stored heat continuously day and night, from summer to winter, in smoke-free thermal power plants.
It suffices:
1) become aware of it !!
2) to reflect and to convert our minds to adapt existing technologies which are working towards this heat, what is already being done in geothermal energy in Iceland or elsewhere !!
Finally I am frightened by the difficulty of ecologists to imagine combinations with existing technologies !!
What falls from solar heat on our roofs, paved areas, roads and parking lots is enormous, and wasted completely, concentrable in summer and can be stored underground, for example in car parks and used in winter.
The sums sunk in nuclear, ITER, the military, would be largely sufficient for this conversion just start !!
Since we copy most like Panurge sheep.
