Sahara Can Alone Produce Electricity For Entire World

0 comments
The ongoing ferment in Arab world has pushed the Desertec Foundation's projects into limits of uncertainness. The project of Desertec Foundation is a classifiable green energy project whose basic target is to produce electricity from burning sunshine of Sahara desert. The estimated cost of this project is around $566 billion, but its study work is still in its initial stages. Study on the project was started after a report justified that only few fractional parts of the whole Sahara Desert can produce electricity for total world.

Future of this energy production project has gone in dubiousness. Some experts are claiming that the democratic governments, if they come in Arab World, will take this project more gravely than the current dictatorships. But most experts afraid that the ongoing tempestuousness in Africa will take a long time to settle. Desertec might have gotten the label of 21st century's mega project for energy production in 2011. But many critics have started to comment that Desertec project is dead due to political and social unrests of African countries.

Desertec Project was researched and organised by Germans - German Institute for International and Security Affairs (SWP) has completed most of its research. Scientists of this institute however have hopes in future of project as Kirsten Swestphal; an energy expert of institute has said that she is thinking in the inverse direction. She thought that the pro-democracy governments would bring constancy in the economy of region. As democratic governments would be backed by civilians, they would take this project more severely. So project is not dead according to her.
