[edit] Reducing salinity
The article mentions that the power station will help with reducing salinity. I emailed Solar Systems, and this is what they said:
"Salinity interception schemes in the area pump saline ground water to the surface (reducing the water table) evaporate the water in an old lake or depression. Salt is harvested as a byproduct. Typically these schemes evaporate around 3 gigalitres of saline water per year, and the limiting factor is the evaporation rate.
Our power station will be sited near salt-affected land, and will be integrated with existing/proposed salinity interception schemes. We reject heat into the saline water stream, evaporating around 1 gigalitre of water. The saline stream then goes on to the lake as before, but is "preconcentrated". Thus we add around 25% to the saline interception extraction volume while helping to protect high-value agricultural land."

[edit] Quotes in Advantages section
I have no real problem with any of the content but why are these in quotes when they don't seem to be quoted from anywhere. The 'source' doesn't really appear relevant to those statements. :: maelgwn - talk 08:11, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
- Hi, I think you may be missing seeing the last three paragraphs of the source. These are the ones I'm quoting... regards, Johnfos 11:35, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Area
So how much land area is this thing going to take up? PolarisSLBM (talk) 17:20, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
