Reuters announced last Friday that Google has developed a prototype for new solar mirror technology. Also known as heliostats, the structures are placed on acres of land and used to focus sunlight on a tower to superheat water, which then turns turbines for clean, renewable energy. Google’s technology has the promise of cutting the cost [...]
