Welcome

Hello and welcome, this blog will be focused on renewable energy topics with some input from an electrical engineering student (me). A little bit about myself first, I go by Nate and currently in my last semester at Colorado School of Mines. I enjoy the topic of power systems within electrical engineering and look forward to becoming unemployed upon graduation. I want to point you to a video about this solar tower in Spain that is able to produce electricity for thousands of homes. This device definitely takes advantage of amount of sunlight that Spain receives. I'm aware that there is also one of these in Arizona but haven't heard of one in Colorado. What does everyone think about this? Would it be possible to have one of these in CO, perhaps on the eastern plains?
