		<description>Hi Kay,  You can go to this page for a more extensive explanation of each point - http://www.tothevillagesquare.org/powering-up-1 .

Under #6, we have this written:  "
Discussions of energy alternatives need to squarely face the challenge of scale. For example, the recent announcement of a solar thermal plant capable of scaling up to 300 MW could - at best - provide .6% of Florida’s energy demand."

It can be very sexy to talk about certain emerging technologies without stopping to realize that it may meet only a teensy part of the demand.  So when citizens are sizing things up, they need to remember SCALE.</description>
