The air is clear and noncorrosive, particularly in the winter. And as long as the incoming light energy remains in light form, it is immune to the outside temperature. All you have to do is insulate the absorber. If it works in Australia, it should work in Canada. David French writes:

Those cost figures and the promise of baseline solar power will be challenging to achieve, but I think that we live a well capitalized world in which science is advancing rapidly. Conventional wisdom (like Australia's Prime Minister John Howard calling solar "a nice, easy soft answer") I think will be proven wrong. The exciting part is how quickly it will be proven wrong.
