The hope is that this is the beginning of a turnaround. The Minister for the Environment, Alfonso Pecoraro Scanio, has set up a task force led by Nobel laureate Carlo Rubbia, who will start the CSP in Italy. Or rather, indicate the way forward to try to imitate other European countries such as Spain, Germany, or some U.S. states, like California. It is no longer only a few solar panels on the roofs (which also should be many more). The concentration used in solar thermal parabolic trough collectors and configure the real "central" power, but of course clean and emission-free. For nearly 20 years in nine major operating systems of its kind in California for a total electric power of more than 350 megawatts. In Europe, Spain has since 2004 initiated a program for the industrial production of about thirty stations for a capacity of 1,300 megawatts per hour. Each of these plants parabolic collector consists of a parabolic reflector, a mirror or glass that can concentrate sunlight on a receiver tube in the focus of the parabola. "The technology - Rubbia says - does not compete with photovoltaics, and that 'a solution within a territory, or with the wind. These are large systems capable of storing energy, "and operate even in bad weather. Among other things, stresses Rubbia, for the construction of these facilities do not necessarily need a financial commitment from the government: the development of this technology can be based on a system of self-financing by industry.
