Just think, Japan could be building 10+ times as many of these if they did not have their Trillion Dollar Eco-Disaster Fukushima to deal with….

This is why Solar (of all flavors) is the future for mankind, not nuclear, it is too RISKY…

I also noticed how SA is asking for financial help…
Their desire to use OPM is questionable IMO…

It’s good to see that the Saudis are starting to think about what happens after the oil revenues dry up. This is the time to invest in such infrastructure when the petrodollars are rolling in. One strategy they may used when supply of electricity exceeds demand is to use the excess electricity to desalinate sea water.
