Solar power boom spreads from deserts to homes

The sun’s heat could replace coal and nuclear power, with innovations from India’s solar cookers to Japan’s rice cookers and America’s portable solar cookers. The Soviet Union claims mirrors reaching 3000 degrees Celsius for engines and melting metals. Factories, turbines, and solar furnaces in Font Romeu demonstrate high heat for industrial and space research, while homes in Arizona and a Greek island use solar collectors and heat storage to provide hot water and warmth.
