Re: small correction

Consider the Hoover Dam. Lake Mead covers nearly 250 square miles. A Concentrating Solar Power system occupying only 10-20 square miles of land could generate as much power on an annual basis as the Hoover Dam did last year.

That is much less than 1/10th the size, not one-half as I erroneously stated.
