Sustainable Development - Green News & Sustainable Business News

Sustainable Development - Green News & Sustainable Business News: "The issue of intermittent supply in solar energy (the sun doesn’t shine all the time, either) has been reportedly solved by an Australian company known as Solar24 Inc., which has developed a solar thermal system that holds heat for 14 hours, long enough to sustain through a cloudy winter night in Texas.

“That is huge,” says Don Looper, an attorney at Looper Reed & McGraw PC who has been negotiating a possible partnership between Solar24 and a Texas power company that would put the new technology’s U.S. debut in Houston. In such an agreement, the solar power and traditional coal plants would operate in conjunction."
