Chile prueba paneles solares flotantes para dar electricidad a mina y ahorrar agua

The video discusses a solar energy project on a floating island called Las Tórtolas in Chile. Inaugurated by Chile's mining minister, the project is managed by Anglo-American at Los Bronces mine. If successful, the $250,000 plant could expand to cover 40 hectares. The solar panels float on a pond used for mining waste.
