About David Mills, Contributor to “Renewable Energy Facts and Fantasies” – Solar Thermal

Dr. Mills, known worldwide for pioneering Compact Linear Fresnel Reflector (CLFR) technology and for his work over the past 30 years in non-imaging optics, solar thermal energy, and PV systems, contributed to the book’s chapter on solar thermal.

This chapter addresses the notion of scale.  Dr. Mills believes wind and solar can all scale to be very large; each of them has the capability to take on the entire electricity load. But the question is how much does that cost and do they do it in a way where we have reliable energy?
