Desert solar panels: Where are the complications?
(via www.guardian.co.uk)
Proposals to utilize the deserts vast unused space for solar power stations is the project of the Trans-Mediterranean Renewable Energy Corporation. The project is said to bring life to an otherwise dead part of the planet as the panels themselves are raised from the ground. With sea water pumped and desalinated from the solar energy, crops could be grown in the shade under the panels, delivering food and water to the worlds poorest regions. Bringing a more huggable, healthier earth:D.
