CSP Today Director Discusses Solar Thermal on Clean Energy Radio

This morning, I recorded next week’s Clean Energy Radio segment for WebTalkRadio, in which I interviewed Belén Gallego, director of CSP Today.

With offices in London and Hoboken NJ, CSP Today provides comprehensive, cutting-edge information online and through trade shows on concentrated solar power (aka solar thermal) in all its varieties – and Belén did a great job as a guest.

Although the CSP industry lacks the political muscle of the fossil fuel and nuclear people, Belén remains quite positive about the future. Of all the forms of energy, clean or dirty, safe or dangerous, CSP is the most dispatchable.  While PV and wind are intermittent, and coal and nuclear run 24 hours a day, CSP, with low-cost energy storage in the form of molten salt, can be turned on and off by grid operators when needed.

As I’ve said hundreds of times, if I were king of the world, we’d be doing solar thermal in a very big way.

If you’re interested in their free newsletter, I encourage you to sign up (like I did) on the website: CSP Today.

My thanks to Belén for her terrific job on the show, and for her continued work to bring about a healthy, safe, and sane world.
