Looks like it has massive potential! Was this site used in the film Sahara?

    I think these will be the solar power stations of the future:

    Solar power is just trading one problem for another. What do we do in 4 billion years when the sun burns out then?

    We all go and live on the Vorlon Homeworld.

    But that's one million years from now-ish. What happens when the Vorlon star burns out?

    Why would we go and live on the vorlon homeworld? Their star is [i]ancient beyond comprehension[/i], i.e. something like 10 billion years, and should burn out anytime..

    We could always restart the Vorlon star using a large bomb to create a new star within a dying star and build a large space ship to take it there with a big dish and... hang on someones done that already... drat! :)

    Well, once our star burns out we'll just have to go beyond the rim... or invest in many many space heaters. ;)
