Gail Said:

What do you think of this wonder from Down Under?

We Answered:

Compatible? Don't you mean Competetive?

Combine that with new technologies such as cheap printable solar panels.

As well as highly efficient full spectrum solar panels

And you coud possibly boost the efficiency of that tower 2 or 3x wile simultaneously reducing the cost of the project by 3 or 4x. Eventually, solar power will be far cheaper than coal or oil is today.
