This is why we need to live in Habitats

TangoMan,

Interesting that you, of all people, would posit such an idea with no
cost/benefit analysis, and facts and figures regarding the practicality. The
solar furnace idea might even be usable on Terra Firma for said purposes,
eh? Though I'm kinda fond of being stain resistant... And depression free.
:-)

Also, I remember reading quite some time ago (perhaps 15 yrs+) about using
very large arrays of mirrors to generate steam for turbines, which of course
will be further directed to generate electricity... I thought at least Paul
would have brought those up in you two's prior debates. Whatever happened to
that idea for elec. - I assume it is not practicle, or I'd have heard more
by now.
