Solar power plants eyed for 1980 rollout
Paris reports that by 1980 governments may have megawatt solar generating stations in operation. The Barstow California plant, a 10 MW American project, a 3.5 MW French facility near Marseilles, and a 1 MW plant on Shikoku in Japan illustrate first steps toward large scale solar energy. French scientists emphasize small scale village power, with 50 kW to 50 MW goals and molten salt heat storage to enable steady output.
