The BIGGEST Thermal Solar Farm on Planet EARTH...

The biggest thermal solar farm on planet Earth... Dunhuang, Gansu, China.
Straight out of a Sci-Fi movie! Love to see this push for green energy from China.

China seems to have the largest of everything on Earth. Here in the UK the largest thing we’ve got is just a lie, biggest one on Earth though 😂

[johnoneill]

China is the world's leader in solar power but you will never hear that on the BBC or should I say BSB. Keep the truth coming 👍👍👍

My uncle is the director of engineer to build these kind of power plant, last year he explant to me how this kind of plant is better efficient and easy to maintain, althought the construct cost is higher, but the cost of power is lower. I feel proud of him.

The engineer answering your questions is so cool! He is typical a Chinese STEM guy （理工男）！ Respect!

[jcyeo]

Frankly speaking, when the world discover what China has been doing, China is already a total different world progressing far ahead.

[jamesw]

That's extraordinary, but we hardly hear any news like this from BBC.

China is a world with advanced civilization. China loves peaceful development and creates a bright future for mankind.

Gosh this looks so futuristic and the best part is that it’s already here, implemented! If I saw this in a Hollywood movie, I would easily think this is just a 3D effects. Great job for the government and thank you for bringing us the video

[NickChowau]

Man, this is like a scene from a Sci-Fi movie.

[dorothyfung]

Love it!! Our planet needs more of this kind of green energy !!

As a young and native Chinese drifting from here to there out of China, I accidentally saw this project and was totally astonished by it. Its cleanness and grand scale just shocked me and I even dreamed about it.
I deeply wish I can build such huge plants more and more for our country as well as one day invest in those politically stable countries and take such great cleanness to enrich them.
I am a minority in China and from a nation named YI, wish me all the best that one day I could do it that can invest in hundreds of such projects.
Now I am just scratching to have the first one.

Amazing, Oli, so happy for you to have this chance to visit the plant!

[JaYoeNation]

Awesome. I’d be a kid in a candy store there too

BBC： China's ambitions have reached beyond the earth: CCP is literally forcing the Sun to squeez the solar power at its disposal

[gladisg]

Once again, envious of Oli visiting such an incredible place ! Love the solar panels adjusting themselves towards the sun ! Really creative n efficient idea. 👍👍👍

I've flown past this thing dozens of times and always wondered what it was. Thank you for this.

[areyousmart]

I always think it’s small when I look at the picture, but it’s actually huge

[pstffyi]

The US: This is the missile launcher we are mentioned earlier !!!

[ssomms]

love the editing and soundtrack, it's like a whole different level from your other videos

[santsuma]

You did a great job here, Olli, bringing another piece of information about the high level of Chinese engineering achievements.
The technically correct name for this installation is SOLAR THERMAL POWER PLANT.

The panels are called SOLAR ENERGY COLLECTORS, with two functions. The reflectors (mirrors) capture the sunlight and the second function is to focus the sunlight onto a receiver (tower).
I'm an electric engineer myself and yes, this installation is fantastic.
