Desert dreams of the solar age 7:10pm on 13 Jul 2009 May I take the opportunity to post an idea I first had at least 20 years ago - instead of aiming at peak power extraction, design a solution which permits some light to penetrate - whether 10% or 90% is to be determined - such that in the darker, cooler, but not lightless area underneath these square miles of solar collectors the land could still be used potentially for growing food or other purposes. By having the solar collector forming the outside surface of eg a large dome, humidity could also be maintained at ground level.

Just an idea...
