Your fridge runs 24 hours a day. Solar panels only work while the sun’s out. That mismatch is the entire reason this plant exists, and the fix is just hot salt. The Dunhuang plant in China’s Gobi Desert uses 12,000 mirrors aimed at a single tower about as tall as an 80-story building. All that focused sunlight heats a mix of salts (the same stuff in fertilizer) to 565°C, hot enough to glow red. That liquid salt gets pumped into giant insulated tanks. The tanks are so well insulated they only lose about 1°C per day. When the city needs electricity at 2am, the hot salt boils water into steam, the steam spins a turbine, and you get power. Same basic process as a coal plant. Just no coal. Here’s what makes this different from regular solar: the storage lasts 11 hours. Sun goes down, plant keeps running all night. The big batteries that cities plug into their power grids right now? Those typically hold about 4 hours of electricity. Building batteries that last 11 hours is possible, but the cost balloons fast. A German energy storage study found that storing energy in hot salt costs roughly 33x less than storing it in the lithium-ion batteries we use today. China has built 27 of these plants so far, enough to power roughly a million homes. They doubled that number in 2025 alone. Another 3,000 megawatts (enough for about 2 million more homes) are under construction right now, with 4,000 more in the planning stage. Beijing wants 15,000 megawatts by 2030. The US tried this same technology once. Ivanpah, out in the Mojave Desert. Cost $2.2 billion. But they skipped the storage part entirely, so it could only make power while the sun was shining. It needed natural gas every morning just to start up. It’s now slated to shut down in 2026, thirteen years early, because regular solar panels got so cheap they made the whole project obsolete. China took the same idea, added the one part America left out, and is now building dozens of them. One more thing worth knowing. The salt is made from basic industrial chemicals. No lithium mining. No cobalt. No rare earth metals. And it lasts 30 years of daily use before the tanks need work.

China’s solar power plant in Dunhuang uses around 12,000 mirrors to focus sunlight onto a central tower, heating molten salt to extreme temperatures. That heat is stored and used to generate electricity on demand, including after sunset.

My prediction: They’re setting the world’s oil fields on fire to declare an energy emergency : restricted travel, energy consumption & movement To monitor & enforce the lockdown they will demand compliance with surveillance tech Whatever happens DO NOT COMPLY THIS TIME

Shenzhen offers hotel quality that’s far better than in the US at half the price, with no tipping. Why is it so cheap here?

The hippies were never "anti-war." They were anti-draft. The war wasn't the problem, just that they didn't want to harsh their groove by being made to fight in it. As soon as the draft ended in '73, they went right into being warmongering white supremacist sociopaths.

Only honest reporting I've ever seen from The Telegraph. No surprise they already took it down.

BBC News reports that at least 20 hospitals and medical centres in Iran have been targeted in air strikes – each a grave war crime – but forgets to mention in the entire segment who is actually targeting them.

For over four days, @X and @elonmusk have allowed a Zionist-Ukrainian group to use X to raise a million dollars to kidnap me. It, of course, clearly implies torture and murder. Yet not a single Western official, journalist, or media outlet will condemn it, let alone investigate.

🚨 DANIEL DAVIS: Are you safe right now? PROF. MARANDI: No one is safe. Hospitals, schools, homes are being bombed. A woman survived one strike… then was killed in the second. a verified X account is raising $1M to kidnap me. X won’t remove it. but posts showing dead children get taken down THIS IS THE REALITY 💥
