Could Concentrating Solar Energy Save Humanity?

You have to admire the bravado of an author who would give such a title to an article: Could Concentrating Solar Energy Save Humanity? Normally, a religious extremist is required to pose a question like that.

Kidding aside, it’s clear that the first technology that offers low-cost, abundant, and clean energy does, in fact, have the potential to save humanity – at least from some of the brink-of-catastrophe positions in which he’s put himself.

Not everyone agrees, but I believe that the cost of CSP will fall dramatically as the R&D advances and the scale increases.
