In his address, Carlo Rubbia referred to The Futuro Solar project has as its for subsequent implementation in the advantages of solar power, which purpose the creation, experimental large-scale plants through modular he described as an “inextinguishable verification and design optimization construction, thereby making possible resource, even in the long term”, versus through the feedback of the operating the availability of solar thermal power fossil fuels – oil, gas and coal – and experience of a collector loop with plants that are more competitive, to their impact on the fight against storage, in accordance with the robust and flexible in terms of climate change. He also expressed development carried out to date, operation and maintenance. his support for the Futuro Solar (solar future) project, a solar thermal power Puerto Errado 2 solar thermal plant prototype still in its preliminary power plant in Murcia.
