The Sahara Forest Project - Libya

Posted by Oversoul 1.618 on January 12, 2010 at 7:09am

The Sahara Forest Project was first proposed at the third Claverton Energy Group Conference, at Wessex Water Plc headquarters, on April 13, 2008. The SFP was the brainchild of Bill Watts, Charlie Paton and Michael Pawlyn. The name "Sahara" is used here to mean what the word 'Sahara' means: namely 'desert', and therefore it includes any desert in the world, although the focus point is the Sahara herself. The project aims to provide a source of renewable energy, food and water to desert regions around the world, by using two technologies: Seawater Greenhouse technology (SG) and Concentrated Solar Power (CSP). The former creates fresh water from seawater via especially designed greenhouses, which also provide food-growing environment; while the latter produces electricity from sunlight at a fraction of the cost of photovoltaics, via special mirrors used to condense (or concentrate) sunlight to create heat, which then is used to drive conventional steam turbines to generate the needed electricity.It was estimated that it will cost around $59 billion to begin producing energy by 2020, and that to start sending significant amounts of energy from North Africa to Europe one needs to spend about $465 billion over the next 40 years. Who knows, maybe North African countries will have something more valuable in the future than oil today. Hence it does not come as a surprise when the French President Nicolas Sarkozy proposed the construction of a new solar-power station in the Sahara last year, when he founded the Mediterranean Union: a strategic alliance of 43 countries from Europe, North Africa and the Middle East. Oil will certainly run out, very soon, and other sources of energy must be found. The Sun is the only permanent source of pure and clean energy in our Solar System, as it is guaranteed to shine for 5 billion more years; although the last two billion years will be far too hot to sustain any form of life but lava. Food for thought.The glorious sun shines more energy onto the surface of our planet than we could possibly consume from all sources in an entire year.What is the impact of all this on the Sahara Herself and her scarce and sacred wildlife?•NewScientist.com ): Solar superpower: Should Europe run on Sahara sun?

    We could have done this a long long time ago. Makes me thing of Jacques Fresco and his Venus Project.
