Israel Update ISRAEL UPDATE – July 11, 2008American-Israeli Team Develops Solar Energy A team of Americans and Israelis recently launched an experimental solar technology plant in Israel's Negev Desert, a prototype designed to drastically cut the cost of energy produced from the sun, the Associated Press reported. The Israeli company, Luz II, Ltd., and its American parent company, Brightsource Energy, Inc., plan to use the Israeli solar array to test new technology for three new solar plants they are building for California utility Pacific Gas and Electric Company. The new technology uses fields of computer-guided flat mirrors called heliostats to track the sun and focus its rays on a boiler on top of a 200-foot tower. The water inside the boiler turns to steam, which powers a turbine and produces electricity. U.S. and Israeli companies routinely work together to develop alternative sources of energy. Our synagogue partners with AIPAC, America’s pro-Israel lobby, in educating our community on issues affecting the U.S.-Israel relationship. We encourage you to learn more by contacting AIPAC at (202) 639-5200 or by visiting www.aipac.org |
