--Solar concentrators are being used in a lot of places around the world nowadays, just because they're cheap to build, don't need any complicated electronic equipment and resist harsh environments much easier.

But despite the apocalyptic headlines, that's not what's actually happening. Unemployment, contrary to all predictions, is falling. As the FT reported on Wednesday, "Total employment is up 159,000 over the six months to May. That is a faster average growth rate than the whole expansionary period between 1993 and 2008, a time when GDP growth averaged 0.8 per cent a quarter. Official employer-based surveys of recent job growth are even stronger". At the same time, tax receipts are rising. In the second quarter VAT revenues and national insurance revenues were both significantly up on this time last year. And even last month's OBR borrowing statistics, which set alarm bells ringing because of an unexpected monthly borrowing increase, showed an overall rise in tax revenue of four per cent to ?41 billion.
