Why Solar Energy in the Sahara Failed 

Good for me

Many channels are copying your contents keep an eye on it. About the question: It is hard to make profits with the available infrastructure there so I think it is not a good idea as of now.

I think that we should not put solar panels suddenly in the middle of the desert because of transportation problems so we should make a green city in it and make high rise buildings so that tourists come and for these buildings we need electricity for that we can later plant solar panels because if we make a green city with skyscrapers we need huge roads which will make transportation easier and then we can plant solar panels. the cost will be a bit high but it would be a best place for tourists and $$$$$$$ will come from tourists who will book the rooms in the buildings and then the cost will not be a big issue then so this is my idea plz like my comment if you like my idea and dont mind if i said something dumb i am just 14yrs old

Here at Algeria we were very exited to use our vast Sahara to do something helps the world go green, unfortunately project stopped, I think developed country's should help the region to be stable, so every one can win..

With advances in battery technology maybe you don't build transmission lines, float a boat full of batteries charged in the Sahara over to Europe and hook them into the grid there. Discharge and repeat. Looks like they are doing that in Japan for offshore wind. Maybe it is too far to be economical though?

It's been known in the US for a while and Trump also brought it up. Germany signed off on the Nord Stream pipeline AFTER Russia annexed Crimea, you would've thought that would get the alarm bells to go off but no.

The entire global economy is built this way, it's not just energy but also phosphate, computing chips, grain, rice, cobalt, copper etc. It's a very poor argument

well because of that european countries would also secure the electricity lines by sending military forces there it's a no brainer move

Nice englisch

Hahaha That’s absurd! I’m from South Africa and there’s a large demand for energy on the African continent.

Yea, there's definitely demand for electricity in Africa. In Africa a large percent of people can't afford having power avaliable for 24 hours.

🤔 but when?

True

Or maybe when Europe needs the most. Like when Russia show their fangs... just like RIGHT NOW

nice

Yees!

yea :D

true :D

Thank you!

Thanks a lot💪

Not really, having a centralized energy producing plant will increase the cost of infrastructure from the place to the rest of the world incredibly. Moreover, creating a large scale solar plant in the Sahara would also mean creating a city where people that maintain the place can live in. With little to no access to infrastructure and water and the Really high temperatures and dryness of the area, I'm not sure how well it would go. Lastly, cross continental power lines would lose a lot of efficiency and would be sunject to natural damages. Imagine all asian electricity suddenly going away because the wrong tree fell on a power line somewhere in Egypt.

@@JonathanGiovannacci You really think that one sole cable would go that distance and power a whole continent? Redundancies for power cables are a discovery from centuries ago.

but this would make the energy companies poor, and you KNOW they wont let that happen.

Thank you for your support!

they reached it :D

yea :D

Depends on the architecture and surface of the panels i guess. But yeah, you made a point here.

There are solar farms in the middle east already and they are regularly maintained and cleaned off of dust and debris. Maintenance is necessary in these projects and dust and stuff wouldn't be that major of an issue

Or wind panels with solar panels

It will never double nor triple. Experts say it will be at most 11 billion. Not 16.

except places like Hawaii BANNED them, because the energy companies wouldnt make a cent. HOW ABOUT THAT❕

yea :D

@@luxurylife3292 what meaning?

@@prabhushankar8520 the video's good🔥

@@luxurylife3292 k thank you.

@@prabhushankar8520 no worries😎

well yeah, when you think of it in the most ignorant way possible. a bomb ANYWHERE could destroy ANY infrastructure, so how is this a valid point at all❓

@@benwarped7272 Valid Point? What is the difference between repairing a power line hundreds of miles long, to repairing a power line thousands of miles long? The difference is, both the costs of the needed items, along with the extra expenses for vehicles capable of traveling thousands of miles fully loaded through an arid waterless desert. That is, without adding in possible terrorists trying to kill them along the way.

Not near the sea, because that water is salty, and the air is humid.

Hello did you buy and hold for a long time ? I need help am a newbie lost over $3,500 a week ago please I would love to get insight

You have to get more experience first, work with a professional on a crypto to guild you step by step

That's a good idea, but how do I get an experienced trader? I don't know anyone sorry to bother you mate do you have any that I could work with?

@@foggz1176I'll recommend you to work with Mr Charlie Munger he is an experienced broker on forex, crypto and stock trading and also an account manager

No doubts Mr Charlie Munger trade analysis is very good, I invested $7,410 and made a profit of $33,691 after 3 weeks I still wonder how he comes up such analysis.

cost doesnt seem to be a factor for ANY magaproject in the world... governments would rather waste billions on huge buildings that only the rich can live in, and we all have to stare at. but when something like this comes along, people are worried about PRICE HAHAHAHA

YEAH RIGHT.

Yep and this sort of thinking is why the average wage in Russia is around one tenth the average wage in America... Capitalism has been incredibly good for the standard of living in countries where its been allowed to work properly, places like Russia it never has because of the level pf government intervention and control and both Europe and the USA are heading down that path pf excessive control which is why countries like China and India will fly past the rest of the world in terms of economic development. While they do still have a lot of government control, they don't try to hinder competition and strongly support businesses to grow without toxic levels of regulations. As for European countries ripping off Africa, its a myth. European countries made a fortune from India and Asia, but the African colonies all lost money for the respective governments and even today the European countries that didn't have African colonies generally have higher average incomes. It would be interesting to know how Africa would have developed without European intervention, its impossible to know the exact path, but based in history they would either still be extremely primitive in some regions or have fought incredibly bloody wars in others. As much as modern people think Europeans set africans back, if you know how things were in history then its clear most people are vastly better off now than they would otherwise have been. Just look at the life expectancy and quality of life for the average European a thousand years ago, most Africans were far worse off than that before Europeans arrived.

@@Jake12220 Well, first of all you're incredibly wrong in your Friedmanian, Randian thinking, I understand where you're coming from, the idea of the *founding fathers* of a *city on a hill* .To tell you this, nothing in the US or any other country in the world hasn't been done without the state and its effort. The fact that US and Britain disguises a lot of things sponsored by the taxpayer as a private entrepreneurship is a whole different story. By the Russia might have much lower income than US but by PPP is ranking higher both from Britain and US. It's not about how much you make but what you can buy. Furthermore Russia has not gotten rich from killing twenty million natives and grabbing their land and then importing ten million Africans to use as slaves. And lastly, the whole world is occupied by the worthless currency of the US that they can print as much as they want because oil and gold are traded in it, essentially it is an instrument of exporting the US's debt and inflation all around the world. The US economy is vastly overvalued and bloated but the rating agencies are American, so there you go. US is completely bankrupt with up to 2000% debt on GDP (MSNBC was the source). and this is exactly the kind of outcome you get with deregulation,Raegonomics etc. bullshit, that has made it possible for large corporations and hedgefunds to avoid paying taxes and put the money in tax havens. Not to mention that large part of why America became a major economic player in the world is because of the outcomes of the WWII, war in which US has made possible the militarization and technological upgrade of the Nazi armies and has supported the German war effort all through the war, with obvious reasons-to kill competition a.k.a. destroy Russia. If you were so much into competition you wouldn't have made Huawei products illegal and made your companies not sell them chips, neither would you have had their CEO's daughter arrested with no charges extrateritorially to act as a leverage on the company and the Chinese government. So there you go.

that's the european mindset.

At least tell me the energy is cheap there otherwise these cckscking shareholders ALWAYS need more money to make profits therefore we'll always be in this cycle of profitability over cheap clean energy.

GG, now you can write that into your curriculum vitae

Western Countries would never allowed China to help Africa developed. How could U.S be great if all the shithole countries becomes better then U.S?

@@vangcruz4442 Western countries could not stop China till now. Shithole countries overtaking USA? Right.

You can eat the ice therefore false, Sahara is drier... just like your $ex life.

@@henryjohnson-ville3834 Hahaha. Nice try. I was about to report your comment for abuse, but it is so incorrect that I do not care. I leave you with your falsiness and jealousness in both cases. If you would go to Antarctica you would eat ice? Man you have no clue.

@@rateit1474 It's simple. Its ice. Cut a piece, put it in your mouth. Fvcking math, dude.

@@henryjohnson-ville3834 -20 degrees celcius in the summer. I do not think you would put ice in the mouth if you ever go there. It is the driest place on earty since all water freezes. It can't be any moist except next to the sea. But I'm talking about inland. In Sahara it can rain, in arctic places it snows. If you are putting ice in your mouth you are personally changing the circumstanses. In that case there are more people bringing in waterbottles into Sahara. In Antarctica there are almost no people at all. Do you have anything more unwise to say? Instead of trying to argue in a lost case, why not just Google the driest place on earth. Perhaps you learn something?

I agree! $1.2 trillion in over-printed dollars is nothing. They print a billion dollars a day. Fvcking Federal Reserve. 😒😒
