Saudi Arabia Implementing Concentrated Solar Power

As presented here, I’m glad to see the Saudis implementing CSP (concentrated solar power) as a significant portion of their energy plans.  It looks like MIT and Siemens have crafted a “hybrid” of CSP and fossil fuels, to create higher temperatures (and thus higher efficiencies), which is the real challenge that CSP has always faced.  Obviously, I’d prefer to see fossil fuels go away, but at this stage, I suppose we’ll take what we can get.
