  Chile starts thermosolar power plant in its superhot desert
  

  
  

  Atacama desert is very hot due to the sunlight it gets.
  

  
  

  The thermosolar plant has thousands of reflectors which move with the sun, reflecting its rays toward a column in the center, in which is water and salt that when heated creates steam.
  

  
  

  It makes 210mW, enough to power 380k homes.
  

  
  

  Chile is looking to close down some of its coal plants.
