Twenty German companies have drawn up ambitious plans to meet at least 15 percent of the European electricity demand by 2020 from solar thermal power plants installed in the North African Maghreb region.
Does this seem odd to anyone? I am inclined to agree with the opposition to this:
Scheer said that the numerous small sun-driven power plants already installed in Germany "can compete with the sun energy from the Sahara. We in Germany are about to achieve even lower prices, through the further installation of solar panels on roofs and facades of buildings all over the country."
This seems like they are taking an awful large amount of money and effort to centralize power rather than keeping things small and less susceptable to hacking and terrorism. Also isn't this going to be even more detrimental to the environment in the long run?
Well, just thought this interesting so thought I'd pass along for anyone curious enough to read...
