What power rationing? 8~(
With
the upcoming power rationing, I couldn’t help but wonder why we are
relying only on one source of energy for electricity. Must
we wait for the white man to always lead the way… Read
below how Europe wants to use the sahara desert to produce energy that will
be sufficient for the whole continent (i.e Europe ) http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/environment/article5887597.ece Want
to know why they choose the sahara http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photovoltaic_array#_note-0 “” In
the Sahara desert, with
less cloud cover and a better solar angle, one can obtain closer to 8.3
kWh/m²/day. The unpopulated area of the Sahara desert is over 9 million km²,
which if covered with solar panels would provide 630 terawatts total power.
The Earth's current energy consumption rate is around 13.5 TW at any given
moment (including oil, gas, coal, nuclear, and
hydroelectric).””
