Focused solar (with mirrors) that tracks the sun does indeed use water. I couldn't tell you how much, because I'm neither advocating them or working against...

This would not be distributed on any other basis than a flat rebate, according to Hansen's (and others') plan. There's no socialism involved. The idea is to...
