Abstract :

Advancement in media technology is one of the
biggest achievements of Science. Both now share a symbiotic
relationship, since scientific knowledge can no better be
disseminated with media playing a significant role. As electricity
is now an indispensable part of media technology, one should not
forget that we have finite reserves of the non-renewable fossil
fuels. Our present and future have enough reasons for finding
renewable and clean energy sources, not just for the sake of our
environment but for the fact that even when these sources are
exhausted, we would still be energy dependent. [5][2]
The whole civilization bears the responsibility of researching
and developing alternative sources to face the looming energy
crisis. One of the most acclaimed alternatives to solve this
problem and ensure large scale energy production is
Concentrated Solar Power Technology (CSPT). This is simply
based on the principle of a conventional thermal power plant in
which super-heated steam is generated by concentrating solar
energy.
The technology is still in its formative phases and ideas for
increment in its efficiency of performance and economics
according to the prevailing circumstances have to be brought out,
shared and enriched. This cannot be achieved without extensive
use of media. A number of websites and magazines are dedicated
to CSP. A number of countries in the world have started working
on projects based on CSPT.
The part which media needs to play includes a number of
experiences in its domain. They are-
To acknowledge technological advancement of CSPT from the
walls of laboratory to the fields.
To connect existing markets across the world to ensure
success, appreciation, cooperation and development of
technology.
To discuss the operational practices and strategies based upon
on-ground experience.
To popularize the educational and professional scope of the
technology.
To develop convincing and advertising methods for instilling
