Sicily has just announced the opening of the world’s first concentrated solar power (CSP) facility that uses molten salt as a heat collection medium. Since molten salt is able to reach very high temperatures (over 1000 degrees Fahrenheit) and can hold more heat than the synthetic oil used in other CSP plants, the plant is able to continue to produce electricity even after the sun has gone down.
Leave it to myopic Americans to build a power plant that only works half the time.

Not to worry jpete. Once the One World Gov. is in place and your much ballyhooed constitution is a memory, they will build a 'smart grid" world wide to share the sun everywhere. At a huge cost of course, all footed by the more fortunate(middle class) people. You'll love it.
