Deployment Around The World
The commercial deployment of CSP plants started by 1984 in the US with the SEGS plants until 1990 when the last SEGS plant was completed. From 1991 to 2006 no CSP plants were built anywhere in the world.

Famous quotes containing the word world:
“A jackass has that kind of strength, and puts it to a useful purpose, and is valuable to the world because he is a jackass; but a nobleman is not valuable because he is a jackass. It is a mixture that is always ineffectual, and should never have been attempted in the first place. And yet, once you start a mistake, the trouble is done and you never know what is going to come of it.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
