Solar Power in the US Southwest
Many power plants burn coal or natural gas to make steam and generate electricity. But power also can come from a cleaner, more renewable source — concentrated solar power. From sunny Las Vegas, Nevada, Shelley Schlender reports

nso uses no gas or other fuel no sun no juice
Parabolic trough plants are typically hybrid with natural gas so that after the sun sets, the steam is generated through a standard combustion process (not renewable, but still much cleaner than coal), that way the facility is being utilized at all times.
so what happen when the sun goes down ,do you still make steam to make electricty
Our future is full of energy producing alternatives. Thanks!
