Source: OnEarth, February 28, 2010 Hot updrafts rising from the sun-baked Mojave Desert create low pressure at the surface, which sucks in cold, dense air from the Pacific Ocean to fill the void. This thermal effect is one of the most ferocious wind machines on earth.

[object Object],What is it? Above a scorched plain outside Seville, Spain, reflected sunlight reflects again off low clouds. Ordinarily the mirrors at Abengoa Solar's PS10 station beam searing, concentrated light to the top of the "power tower," heating a boiler that makes steam to drive a turbine. On overcast days, operators aim the mirrors skyward; sudden sun through clouds could heat the tower so quickly it could be destroyed.

[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],How Does it Work? Photovoltaic system 'tree' in Styria, Austria

Concentrating Solar At Nevada Solar One near Las Vegas, oil piped down long rows of reflectors soaks up focused sunlight, becoming hot enough to make steam and run a 64-megawatt power plant. Utilities often favor such systems, also called solar thermal, over costlier PV.
