There is sun enough in Spain and Italy (and even France and south Germany) that we don't need Morocco/Libya.
Also: heat and dusty environments are really bad for efficiency. Better with a place where it rains once in a while.
Today at 13:00 more than 38% of electricy in Germany was produced by solar panels! https://app.electricitymaps.com/zone/DE https://app.electricitymaps.com/zone/DE
- walrus01 4y agothat is a very good point and of course as much as possible should be generated domestically first. If you open a high res aerial view of any random french or german city right now and look at the roofs of how many warehouses and huge structures are presently covered in PV, versus how many could be covered in PV if we really wanted to, for instance.
- hutzlibu 4y agoWe could also cover all the roads with PV, invest highly in saltwater batteries, the global grid , small, modular nuclear reactors, solar desalination, developement help for poor countries by building up a local solar industry etc. etc. But the world is rather focused on war. Now in the ukraine, but taiwan is building up. I mean, a nuclear holocaust would also reduce CO2 emissions, but seriously, it is so frustrating that there are technological solutions to real problems, but they are just not seriously implemented. We could, but we don't. At least not on a global scale.
