Considering how to build more power generating systems in Canada that use concentrating solar has me thinking. Medicine Hat has a small one. I wonder what it would take to build others to serve Saskatchewan and Manitoba.

At Business Development Canada, a quick chat had me understanding that I need to assemble a minimum viable product to show this idea to venture capital groups.

It looks like this idea needs a little story, a little study, and a little more research before we push for a big Moroccan-style tower.
