Very cool slideshow highlighting some groundbreaking energy projects. The downside of any article like this is that it's not in depth, and it isn't critical of the projects it highlights.

What's good about this article is it shows the scale of the problem, and the scale of the solutions which will be needed to solve the problem.

this is fascinating and awe-inspiring. seeing these power sources and the information on them demonstrates the real possibilities for renewable energy which can sometimes feel elusive. i wish the information( about costs, wattages produced, percentages of needed energy use, etc.) had been more consistent among the descriptions to be able to more easily compare them

I like how this story shows the scale of both the megawatts and the coming decades. Then shows what really large scale alternative power looks like. I think it could be more reflective on what it would mean to cover the earth with these technologies, but that was not the thrust of this one.
