Midway
Message from the Gyre
These photographs of albatross chicks were made just a few weeks ago on Midway Atoll, a tiny stretch of sand and coral near the middle of the North Pacific. The nesting babies are fed bellies-full of plastic by their parents, who soar out over the vast polluted ocean collecting what looks to them like food to bring back to their young. On this diet of human trash, every year tens of thousands of albatross chicks die on Midway from starvation, toxicity, and choking.

Concentrated solar power in the world’s deserts

Concentrating solar power is a proven technology that could supply enough electricity to power the whole of Europe

Concentrating solar power (CSP) involves using arrays of mirrors to focus large amounts of sunlight onto a small area. This creates extremely high levels of heat, which can be converted into electricity using a steam turbine or Stirling engine – or stored in tanks of molten salt to provide power at night or on cloudy days. The mirrors can be parabolic troughs or giant dishes. Alternatively, a large number of sun-tracking flat mirrors can direct sunlight to the top of a so-called “power tower”.

Geopolitical issues with the Desertec scheme – such as North African control of European electricity – remain to be resolved, but there are no insurmountable technical barriers. CSP is a proven technology, with plants up and running in the US, Spain and other regions.
