Substitute Sahara Energy Nuclear Energy

Not only environmental activists applauded the recent decision of Germany, Switzerland and Italy to halt nuclear energy in the foreseeable future. However, sustainable energy sector also saw an incredible opportunity. 

Various countries now have a solar panel installations. Desertec tried to keep these projects in future be expanded and interlinked.
After that, each project must be installed on the European high-voltage network. In Morocco, Desertec are building a large project of 500 megawatts.
They work closely with government and local agencies. In comparison, this installation will be supplying more energy than nuclear power centers in Borssele, southern Netherlands.
Large projects such as Desertec, for example, where the energy generated in the Sahara and then transported to Europe. However, political turmoil Arab countries feared could disrupt plans.
The numbers and ambition there is quite positive. Construction of giant solar panels, glass and windmills in the Sahara it will cost around 400 billion euros. Through this project, in 2050 as much as 15 percent of European energy needs will be met.
Desertec, which is the initiative of Germany, welcomed the idea. Moreover, once the political decisions about nuclear energy.
Expensive Energy experts from the University of Utrecht, Wim Turkenburg, mentioning energy plan Sahara as an interesting idea.
Plan''terrific. Technically it is possible to do,''he said. ''However, this requires a lot of preparation. This is a great investment. In addition to investing in the desert, also should be installed high-voltage cables. So, the price for electricity is also high. "

The project cost is not the only obstacle. The political situation in Arab countries is far from stable.
''In fact, Desertec requires these countries to realize the power project,''the Dutch businessman Paul van Son. "We certainly can not do business with Libya to see the situation now. Once the atmosphere calmed down, we direct action.''
