Another day of nil progress at the Field Lab but good news for the Big Bend region....my sources tell me that a huge solar farm is slated to begin construction next year near Marfa. While I was still in upstate NY, I read a number of articles back in '06 about a company called Stirling Energy Systems. During a road trip west in February of '07, I stopped by their offices in Scottsdale AZ but they weren't interested in visitors. Was hoping to get permission to see their test facility at the Sandia National Laboratories outside of Albuquerque - no dice. Anyway....seems the technology is ready to go now and out of the bag. Finally, an alternative energy development that sounds too good to be true but actually works and is going mainstream. http://alpineavalanche.com/articles/2009/06/29/front/front01.txt
