Hold onto your solar-powered phone chargers, folks! China just flipped the switch on a revolutionary renewable energy project that’s literally doubling down on clean power. 🌍⚡
Near Guazhou County in Gansu Province, two 200-meter-tall towers – think *twice* the height of the Statue of Liberty – are surrounded by a sea of 30,000 high-tech mirrors. These mirrors form overlapping circles that beam sunlight onto BOTH towers simultaneously, like a giant game of cosmic laser tag 🔦 (but way more productive).
Here’s the kicker: while traditional solar plants clock out at sunset, this setup uses molten salt as a thermal battery 🔋. Extra heat collected during daytime gets stored and released at night, providing 24/7 electricity generation. Better yet, the mirrors boast a 🔥 94% reflection rate – basically turning sunlight into energy with Marvel-level efficiency.
This project, showcased in a viral CMG video this week, could redefine how countries approach renewable energy. As one engineer put it: \"Why build one tower when two can give you night-and-day power?\" 🚀
