Not your average solar power: Energy Tower

Another thing I found surfing today. Its a tower, cools air that enters from the top like a swamp cooler, and has wind turbines on the bottom to generate power via the cold air falling. Very interesting concept.

Very interesting, but may stay a concept :

The 3,000-foot tall tower, with a diameter of 1200 feet...

But I love that way to see things and create innovative things :)

Here is another similar concept. This one uses underground heat pump technology in addition to the tower.
