\nSolar power has long been predicted to be the next best way to power up the world, a replacement for fossil fuels being used today. Now, the world has taken a step further towards its solar-juiced-dreams, with the opening of Brightsource Energy\u2019s Ivanpah power plant<\/a>, better recognized as the world\u2019s largest solar thermal power plant. The plant, located in California, delivered power to the grid for the first time a couple of days ago, the start of a long and green service.
\n
\nThe plant makes use of 200,000 mirrors that focus the sun\u2019s light and heat at energy-generating towers. These towers use the heat energy to create steam and spin turbines, which in turn generate green kilowatts! The $2.2 billion power plant is still under construction and the authorities hope this project to be a game-changing means to powering up the electricity grid of California for good!<\/p>\n
