Full article: Natural resource exploitation in Western Sahara:
This initial report details how Morocco plans to build over 1000 megawatts of renewable energy plants in Western Sahara. The study also considers the ethical problems of the existing work done by Siemens, the land grab to clear space for wind farms, planned connections to the EU grid, and the allegedly murky intentions of the UN Clean
Opinion: Solar panels in Sahara could boost renewable energy
This scenario might seem fanciful, but studies suggest that a similar feedback loop kept much of the Sahara green during the African Humid Period, which only ended 5,000 years ago. So, a giant solar farm could generate ample energy to meet global demand and simultaneously turn one of the most hostile environments on Earth into a habitable oasis.
