They ran into …
They ran into problems in their home country, Australia, because of the enormous coal lobby. Australia is a huge coal exporter so makes sense. So they went on to buy solarmission technologies in the us through a stock exchange deal. They finally aquired that company and now plan on towers in arizona i think. But I really hope they get some more support on the home market so that they can build the first tower in Mildura as planned.

The one question I …
The one question I have about this tower is why the greenhouse section is not filled with sea water. Water vapour is less dense than air so it would rise up through the tower. Then the distilled water would rain down in the immediate area creating a microclimate. The the high salt content water could then be either sold to Indonesia or the magnesium chloride could be sold to magnesium processors (perhaps using the electricity from the tower) or returned to the ocean.

there is no panels involved. They are glass plates. the light heat the ground. the air get heated. air flows to center because of temperature difference along the chimney. Also, the plates cross-sections are getting larger gradually before it enters the turbine hole.

How to tell if some …
How to tell if some new technology is cost effective:
If the idea is good and cost effective the private sector will voluntarily invest in it and you will see one built solely with private money. It will then make profit because it is more efficient than the alternatives.
If the idea requires public money (our taxes) then it is not a good idea. It must be such a bad idea that no one wants to invest voluntarily in to it so the money must be taken by force and spent on the project.

First of all I don't think they'll raise taxes for this, what they will do is probably invest in it and once they get 5 million workers and such than it'll pay for itself. More workers = more money for the government!
