Thirty Thousand Solar Stirling dishes catch at least 4400 jobs
A large installation of 750 Megawatts of 'Sun Catcher' Solar Dishes in 'Imperial Valley', USA, will employ at least 4400 during manufacturing and construction, and 150 in operation.
'External Combustion' Stirling Engines require only heat to run. With the heat of the Sun, concentrated with a mirror dish, driving an electricity generator, they are efficient, require just a little water for polishing, are environmentally friendly, allow vegetation to regrow and animals to return, can be made in underemployed car parts factories, and are modest in cost.
