Massivie concrete tower, glass apron and a few turbines buried in the tower - should last for centuries
Night time operation - hot ground under the skirt will continue to drive hot air up the tower, probably for weeks
No water requirement
Poor quality land
Can have complementary activities - glasshouse horticulture under the skirt, water harvesting off the skirt, rocket launches
Huge activation cost $800+M for one tower
Has operated in Spain on a small proof of concept
White shoe brigade in Western Australia has mentioned an interest in it, stay away
CBD has bower-birded every other power technology, they might as well pick up this one.
