This fluid can then power a steam turbine that generates electricity. Sunlight may be collected using huge mirror arrays focused on a receiver at the top of a tower. At the opposite extreme, it may be based on the temperature gradient produced when sunlight impinges on a solar pond (a large salty lake) and heats the water at its base

You are absolutely right that there needs to be more discussion. I’ll be tackling the elections in the coming days. Diane

But I am very frustrated with the fact that so few people are talking about presidential candidates and their thoughts on global warming. Now that it is down to just a few candidates I would think that this would be a bigger issue.
Live Earth just picked up this topic and put out an article ( http://www.liveearth.org/news.php ) live earth is also asking why the presidential candidates are not being solicited for their stance on the issue of the climate change. I just saw a poll on http://www.EarthLab.com that says people care a lot about what their next leader thinks of global warming. Does anyone know of another poll or other results about this subject?
Here is the page where I saw the EarthLab poll: http://www.earthlab.com/life.aspx. This is a pretty legit website; they are endorsed by Al Gore and the alliance for climate protection and they have a carbon footprint calculator. Does anyone have a strong opinion about this like I do?
