Mapping where the solar action is

This map is from EER with notations showing where there's use of Concentrated Solar Power, both current and planned. The darker the red, the higher the level of available solar energy. The U.S. and Africa appear to be particularly bright spots for solar use.

You can compare this map with one released by NASA recently and blogged here.
