The solar technology involved is known as concentrated solar power (CSP)
which uses mirrors to concentrate the sun's rays on a fluid container.
The super-heated liquid then drives turbines to generate electricity.
The advantage over solar photovoltaic panels, which convert sunlight
directly to electricity, is that if sufficient hot fluid is stored in
containers, the generators can run all night.

Germany, China investment leader
A new report from Deutsche Bank says the UK and US need to strengthen renewable energies and clean tech incentives to encourage investment
Germany China and Japan top cleantech investor countries
Germany, China and Japan present some of the lowest risks for green investors and clean tech firms looking to expand their operations, while the UK and US currently have a higher risk policy and clean tech investment environment. The report comes as US energy secretary Steven Chu warned yesterday that his country may miss out on a multi-billion dollar market in clean energy technologies unless it acts quickly to encourage investment.
Clean tech countries
Among the countries in the Major Economies Forum, Australia, Brazil, China, France, Germany and Japan were hold to present the lowest investment risks. Germany and China also ranked highly in terms of the amount of clean tech investment projects between 2000 and 2008, with respectively $36.7 billion and $41.2 billion in capital investment.
The UK and US occupied the second tier of countries, ranked by investment risks, alongside Canada

o Clean Port, no smoke Diesel generator
o Green Prize for low carbon Yacht manufacturing
People:
The Show was overbooked, many people
more Sellers than Buyers (agent with Cellular phone pictures bussy)
starting to think about CO2 tax one day ?
Why Solar - Cleantech Yachts now ?
the simple answer, good weather, sunshine, yacht show
a lot of Diesel pollution in the Air, also from stationary
Aircondition Containers for the Show rooms.
The port has to get a clean place with yachts filtering
Diesel and on-board real waste water treatment
to keep the beautiful Riviera clean for Swimmers
How does a Solar Yacht produce money ?
Well with the coming "Obama smart grid",
not only electric cars or Solar PV roofs
deliver to the grid electricity. Also Yachts
with big surface plug-in the port smart grid and
deliver Electricity if batteries full. Most of
the year anyway they are in the port in the
Sun. Additional Range extenders do the long
Range, or better the Hydrogen combustion
or Fuel cell Yacht with Zero emission.
Can luxury contribute to Environment ?
It has, the money is here for prototypes
