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.

We need to build the equivalent of a New York City every month.
I have heard this on two occasions this spring: at a PSMA talk on tall wood buildings and on a podcast about opportunities for buildings to help draw down carbon from the atmosphere. Tall wood structures made from mass timber seem poised to help us a lot. We can contribute to drawing down carbon from the atmosphere by choosing different options when we build.
