I've heard the idea of a big solar park in the Sahara, and Europe will buy energy from that. Bad idea for two reasons: 1. Long transmission lines, a lot of electricity loss 2. Energy is not on their land, its in poor lands open to terrorist attacks and other country's whims. With how many wind turbines it would take to power Europe, I don't fear terrorists attacking them....the power is too distributed, blowing up 5 or 6 will have a negligible impact. I am still interested in how they would provide security, though. This is a great idea. I’ve heard the idea of a big solar park in the Sahara, and Europe will buy energy from that.
