Rising from the desert landscape what will be the world’s tallest solar thermal tower, according to euronews.com.
It is still under construction 250 meters high in the Negev Desert.
The project is made up of three plots, with a fourth planned for the future, each with a different solar technology. The centerpiece is the solar tower.
Encircling it are 50,000 mirrors, known as heliostats, sitting just above the dusty earth in a shimmering blanket of glass with a 1-square-kilometer reflective surface stretched out over more than 3 square kilometers of land.
