Outlook
Conclusions
Fossil fuel volatility and climate change issues will bolster renewable market over coming decade, fostering solar CSP buildout The Spanish will be slow and steady over the next decade; US market growth will take place closer to 2015 Parabolic trough technology will continue dominant role until emerging technologies prove viable. Thermal storage will prove critical over long term. The industry will begin to consolidate over the next five years with leading IPPs and utilities acquiring assets
