One of the most interesting aspects of energy is that it can be generated from various sources and such sources imply different interests, always related with money and politics most of the time. A couple of years ago there was a big project under consideration and development that wanted to join together hands from several countries (in Europe) with the common goal to provide energy to Europe by using a massive solar panels installment in the desert of north africa and middle east and this would largely cover the need of electricity of Europe if i am not mistaken.
Now i am not too sure but i have never heard anything else about this and in relation with power i think that is a good debate and yet again another occasion where we can clearly see that there are big interests behind it, so with that in mind they do not want to develop it. Agreed, is a large project that requires a substantial investment but in the long term it would provide energy and most importantly, CLEAN energy.
