Photographer's note: "Aerial photograph of Crescent Dunes Solar, a 110MW tower style concentrated solar power plant with molten salt storage near Tonopah, Nevada, USA. On this day, the system was being tested by heating molten salt at the top of the glowing tower to 1050°F (566°C), then using the resultant thermal energy to drive steam turbines, which in turn sent electrical power to the Nevada grid.."

Photographer's note: "A molten salt storage tank at Crescent Dunes Solar. The two storage tanks hold heated molten salt and allow the plant to produce electricity through the night. "Cold salt" is 550°F (288°C) and "hot salt" after it is heated by the receive at the top of the tower is approximately 1050°F (566°C). On site photo, Crescent Dunes Solar, near Tonopah, Nevada, USA."
