SAHARA - SOURCE OF ENERGY

At a conference with subject climate change, science Austrian man Anthony Patti said that the European target to achieve by 2020 a rate of 20% of the energy required altenative sources can be achieved by installing in North Africa a network of solar panels on an area of about 80 thousand square kilometers.
Solar power uses mirrors to focus the Sun’s rays at a thin pipe containing either water or salt. The rays boil the water or turn the salt molten and the energy is extracted by using the heat to power turbines.
Trials of concentrated solar power are being planned for Egypt, Morocco, Algeria and Dubai. Libya and Tunisia could also be considered as sources of European electricity.
Receiving energy from North Africa would, the conference heard, reduce dependence on fossil fuels, which drive climate change by emitting carbon dioxide. The renewable source of energy would also mean that Europe relied less on Russia and the Middle East for fuel.
