Finally, clean energy for the mass.
I always believe in the survival spirit every man has within. That is what got us thus far. Running out of oil - so? Let's invent something that replaces fuel power then. Never mind about the Cold Fusion - the geniuses out there will somehow figure out how to generate the heat required to fuse those particles together.
Here is a superb proposal by the Australians on harvesting the abundance solar energy. Should they succeed(I bet they will.), this concept should probably be implemented in all countries with all year round skin penetrating solar rays. i.e, South East Asian countries.

There is a video clip where you can see the blueprint of the project. Going green on power generation is probably one of the ways to cushion the oil price increase.
One issue is, how much damage to the environment will it bring during the construction? Does it warrant less harm than good? In the construction of the tower, how much resources do we use to construct this Solar Tower? While sceptism arises all the time over new ideas, I believe optimism is still the driving force of mankind.
p/s: It looks very nice in a pentagonal arrangement. At the height of 1000m, I wonder if it can be seen from space and be considered another new Wonders of the World?
p/p/s: At the height of 1000m, wouldn't it be struct by lightning all the time? In that sense(have you imagined that picture?), it looks like a Tesla Coil too!
