World's Largest Solar Energy Dish


The world's largest solar energy dish is located right here, at the Ben-Gurion National Solar Energy Center in Sde Boker.

In some bizarre way, typing that sentence makes me feel a little nostalgic for the Midwest, home of many of the world's largest [random] things, including, but by no means limited to:

The world's largest ball of twine [Darwin, Minnesota or Cawker City, Kansas depending on who you ask]
The world's largest catsup bottle [ Collinsville, Illinois]
The world's largest letter M [Platteville, Wisconsin]
The world's largest prairie dog [Oakley, Kansas] and
The world's largest cheeto [Algona, Iowa]
