Solar Power that Won't Need Subsidies -Ilene R. Prusher
Israel has launched a unique solar farm, based on a system of rotating dishes made up of mirrors, that is capable of harnessing up to 75% of incoming sunlight - roughly five times the capacity of traditional solar panels.
Using mirrors to reduce the number of photovoltaic cells makes the cost of solar energy roughly comparable to fossil fuels.
Ben-Gurion University Professor David Faiman [said] "In 20 years, if we in Israel move in this direction, 60 to 70% of our electricity needs will not cost anything."

Progress is a part of human nature that seems in much greater abundance in Israel than anyplace else in the MidEast.
Indeed that appears to be the case in the area of technology. I was also pleased to post on the electric car a short time ago.
