This to me would be a more natural way of progression of energy that would lead us to mostly or all green energy.

You’re absolutely right. This is nothing but an announcement yet. I should’ve used more careful wording.

Zach, could you edit the article with the following sentence:

“Terra Nex and Middle East Best Select, have announced that they are planning a $2-billion, 400-MW CSP project in Oman.”

For those who want to read more about this announcement check out:

Just because there is a press release doesn’t mean that there is a real project. Some things worth looking into: As it is illegal to produce power without a licence in Oman, check the Omani ministry of commerce and industry for license holders and check with the government offtaker Oman Power and Water Procurement Company as to if they know about the project. If these things come back negative, please correct your article.
