Solar plant to utilize molten salt technology

This molten salt technology for purposes of storing solar energy is a great idea. Any material with a high heat capacity is good for storing energy so that the solar stations can continue to generate power on cloudy days and at night.

I can see that other systems that use materials that remain stably solid at temperatures as great as perhaps 2,000 K to 2,500 K but with high specific heats could be effective provided that such materials could be closed off by layered highly reflective and refractive dewar type shielding apparatus. The very hot thermal masses could continue to pump out power for cloudy days on end depending on how large the thermal masses where.

Solar power can be effectively utilized along with wind power, tidal current power, hydroelectric dams, and biofuels. A concerted effort is needed to produce an economic study with the goal of actually going completely green and renewable within our lifetimes. To sustain the human race indefinitely is by definition going to require going sustainable.

Running our climate into the ground in such a manner that we make no further consideration for our descendants hundreds and thousands of years into the future is selfish foolishness.
