So, what, we'll draw most of the winter power from Morocco?
Aside from engineering feasibility, this is literally what bit Europe (Northern Europe in particular - go figure) in the backside: having a single energy supplier. Projects like this sound like nice marginal improvements, but you wouldn't want to bet your whole economy on good relations with Morocco.
It is on fact worse since oil and gas can be transported with some difficulty, Germany muddled through in the end. But you won't be able to magic out new cables at this scale. And anyway where would they lead?
I think the bulk of energy must at least be produced in the EU, with all the limitations it entails. Or else be fungible with many third parties.
