Thanks for the article, well done.

if alcoa can provide the power for their own aluminum production with their own solar concentrators, then that puts them way ahead of the game. that is to say, actually sustainable.

This DSG technology does not use a two-phase water/steam (boiling water) in a horizontal receivers commonly associated with Direct Steam Generation. Projects are in the design phase in SE Asia and China while Utilities and IPPs in US are only interested 80s tech with small improvements.
