You mean in the sense that being a Stirling Engine repairman is a more technically demanding occupation than maintaining and repairing a centralized thermal generation and molten salt heat storage?

No, I don't think the maintenance of those units is higher tech than the maintenance of the centralized systems. The reverse.

As far as keeping them maintained, a country like the DR Congo would obviously need to have a means of payment to a country like Brazil, but a country that can produce to the tolerance of modern automobiles ought to be able to produce to the tolerances of those type of thermal CSP's.


I've been accused of being a Marxist, yet while Harpo's my favourite, it's Groucho I'm always quoting. Odd, that.
