Microwaving the solution will evaporate some of the water just as boiling on a stovetop does, but how would it decrease the caloric value of the sugar?

Um, no, I'm not ready. Your "single parcel of land in the desert Southwest...a mere 96 miles long" is actually 9216 square miles of desert. Desert is NOT worthless land that it's okay to pave over with a huge power plant, particularly not a concentrating solar power plant like the example shown in the ad. The Department of Energy says CSP uses 1.6 times the water per megawatt hour as coal and 4 times the water per MWh as natural gas. Deserts are, by definition, short on water, and the rivers of the Southwest are already over-allocated to other uses. Where's that water going to come from?

What I'm ready for is empowering individuals, businesses, and communities to meet their own power needs by placing PV panels and small vertical wind turbines on rooftops, utility poles, cell towers, and other structures all over America. Decentralizing our power supply may not create/sustain as many billionaires, but it will make us less vulnerable to natural and man-made disasters.
