These look like flat mirrors..
"National Solar Thermal Test Facility at Sandia National Laboratories,
near Albuquerque NM. Sunlight is focused on the tower,
super-heating a working fluid that can be used to run an electrical generator."
When you get near this site and look up at the focal point on the tower,
it's like looking at a really small and bright sun. Sunglasses are a must! 
I've heard they can melt just about anything.. |
Hmmm... those sun towers look distinctly like grain elevators... which we have alot of around here... I wonder.
