  It might not be worth the delay to investigate, but it is certainly worth the time and money. If it is an easy win in one case, how do you identify the hard wins? Perhaps more importantly, you learn the biggest hurdles so that you can address them. For instance, the UK doesn't want its power to be at risk from political instability (more than it is already). That risk can be addressed in part by working with the local population: perhaps you allow for co-located grazing so you're not displacing herders. Perhaps encourage joint projects that also provide local power so that Moroccans benefit from the project (beyond just the ones in power). What about security? It seems a bit concerning if 8% of UK's power can be knocked out in a single attack. How would you address that?

    You keep existing fossil fuel generation facilities available. They will only be used at most a few days a year--or in situations like this where 8% of UK's power is knocked out in a single attack.
