" Solar City Tower ", built atop the island of Cotonduba
will be the
welcome symbol to
the
2016 Olympic Games
in Rio de Janeiro .


It will be seen by the game visitors and participants as
they arrive by air or water.


The tower, captures solar energy. It will supply energy
for all of the Olympic city, as well as also for part of Rio ..

It pumps up water from the ocean to create what
appears like a water fall and this fall stimulates turbines
that produce energy during the night.
 
 
 
 
It will also hold the Olympic flame.


The Tower possesses an amphitheater, an auditorium, a cafeteria and boutiques. Elevators lead to various observatories.  At the summit is an observation point to appreciate the scenery of the land and ocean, as well as the water fall.

It sounds like most of the energy will be used to pump the water. Am I missing something here ... would Algore be disappointed in me?
