24/7 solar towers could double energy output

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
These two things don't really add up.
I suppose you could feed it with saltwater if you're on the coast, but there's a reason why you don't pump that stuff around unless you really have to.
I missed the part where they pump water up to generate power from the downdraft (of cooled air). I don't want to shit on cool ideas. Maaaaybe there's are range of parameters where this works, but I'm holding my breath.
photovoltaic has the same problem tho
Photovoltaic doesn't require water. What are you talking about?
Also PV does neither require heat nor dryness.
