SUMMARY:
A new solar energy plant is being built in the Moroccan desert. This plant is over 30 square kilometers and will be the biggest concentrated solar planet in the world. By doing this the Moroccan government lessens their dependence on the fluctuating price of natural gas, which at the moment is what the country runs on. By doing this the government allows for the rebuilding and strengthening of their economy and future. Morocco is ahead of the game compared to most of the world in their development of renewable energy sources, which in most people's minds is the only future in our energy crisis. With this new source of energy Morocco can solve their current energy issues and hopefully export this energy as well in the future.
ANALYSIS:
I think this plan is incredible and very forward thinking. By doing this Morocco can plan for a safer future and solve their issues now with the unpredictable natural gas energy source. At the moment most of Morocco goes through times of power outages and as one can imagine this can be very troublesome especially in a hospital or any other emergency services. By using renewable energy like solar power, these shortages can be prevented which will allow for an overall growth in their standard of living and their country as well. This reminds me of the American system that was employed in the early United States, which showed that by improving one thing in the country (roads and transport routes) a surge of growth was sure to follow along with major growth in our economy and so on.

ReplyDeleteGood for Morocco! Why can't America do the same? We spend so much money on presidential campaigns and meaningless projects while those funds could go towards a better and healthier future.
I hope this gets developed more and catches on, so we can finally use a better method of fueling our everyday lives! (Especially after talking about how we should do so for the past decade).
