The Energy Report submits:
A shining example of using the sun's energy to heat, cool and light the homes and businesses of a desert community in California is poised to power up next year. It's due in part to the emergence of a technology that uses refraction rather than reflection to produce solar power on a utility-size scale at half the price of photovoltaic technology. But major credit also goes to the pioneering efforts of REDCO, a privately held company, which Ryan Davies established last year to unite free-market concepts with sound environmental policy. The Energy Report caught up with Ryan in the midst of Solar Power International 2009, North America's largest B2B solar industry event. The event in Anaheim was about 250 miles from the forward-thinking community of Needles, where Ryan's company is awaiting permit approvals to build a solar thermal plant that will provide peak power to some 2,500 homes.
