As a side benefit, they could use residual heat to power seawater desalination plants, which would provide drinking water in large quantities for the arid countries. At the same time they would obtain a valuable export product: environmentally friendly electricity."<BR/><BR/>And more:<BR/><BR/>"For countries such as Libya, Morocco, Algeria, Sudan and especially Middle Eastern states, the solar power business could be the start of a truly sunny future. It could create jobs and build up a sustainable energy industry, which would bring money into these countries and enable investment in infrastructure."<BR/><BR/>@SolReka: Thank you for approving my adverts!Solar Girlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13876210963214306343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2508642268371286754.post-47573496127099630452008-08-08T07:33:00.000-07:002008-08-08T07:33:00.000-07:00Very exciting times we are living in. Heliostats, solar farms surely are the next generation in alternative energy.<BR/><BR/>Just a shame the oil barons suppress this technology. <BR/><BR/>PS Thanks for advertising on my blog SolarGirl.<BR/><BR/>Regards<BR/><A HREF="http://solreka.com/blog" REL="nofollow" TITLE="Solreka">SolReka</A><BR/>Brighter Energy SolutionsSolRekahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04627614218921504683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2508642268371286754.post-32185012909065745342008-08-07T14:33:00.000-07:002008-08-07T14:33:00.000-07:00Sounds interesting. What are they going to give back to Africa for tapping their solar power?<BR/><BR/>Dagny<BR/>www.onnotextiles.com<BR/>bamboo and organic clothingONNOhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09999276424987359463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2508642268371286754.post-49732306603602183322008-07-30T20:20:00.000-07:002008-07-30T20:20:00.000-07:00There is a new world wide web emerging right before our eyes.<BR/> <BR/>It is a global energy network and, like the internet, it will change our culture, society and how we do business. More importantly, it will alter how we use, transform and exchange energy.<BR/> <BR/>Enough solar energy falls on the surface of the earth every 40 minutes to meet 100 percent of the entire world's energy needs for a full year.<BR/> <BR/>There is no energy supply problem, there is an energy distribution problem -- and the emerging solution is a new world wide web of electricity.<BR/><BR/>For more information, see http://www.terrawatts.comMichael P.http://www.blogger.com/profile/09669538883744760844noreply@blogger.com
