Ever been to the top of the Empire State Building? It’s pretty impressive.
Now imagine being on top of something twice as tall and you get some idea of just how big Arizona’s new solar tower is going to be. It also looks good – especially as power plants go – and is destined to become a tourist attraction.
Australian company EnviroMission, and partners, is planning to erect a solar tower that will reach a staggering 2.625 feet into the skies.
It is expected to cost $750 million to construct and will generate enough juice for around 150,000 homes. That’s 200-megawatts (MW) and it will last for 80 years.
What’s just as impressive is that this project has been cleared and is at the site engineering and land acquisition stage.
Check out the video for the project below.
