No where does it say it is a 24/7 solar solution. It says it is a 24/7 electrical power generator.

When it is sunny it generates that power via a solar heated turbine. When it is cloudy or at night it can run that exact same turbine by injecting a fuel, any fuel.

Nor did they claim diesel was a green power source. Although I suppose bio-diesel could be. The secondary fuel source could be anything, methane from a landfill, natural gas from fracking, the gasoline they siponed out of your car, etc. If it was built to meet max demand scenarios they could even use the excess capacity during the rest of the day to split water and run on hydrogen.

We re interested in reporting on sustainable solutions that can ultimately function on a 24/7 basis without damage to the climate. Isn’t that what any green energy development should be about?

This is not 24/7 solar system. It CSP with another system to back up the rest of the time. Diesel generator backup is not 24/7 solar. Maybe the CSP portion is good maybe not, maybe it beats other CSP maybe not. No claims on that front, but the big selling point is bull. Not saying it has to be 24/7, but isn’t there enought smoke and mirrors confusing people already without claiming that diesel is a green power sourse.
