Solar isn't new. It's been around for centuries. In fact, my grandfather created a solar hotwater heater from an old car windshield installed in the roof of his California home to focus the sun's rays on a coil of copper pipes wrapped in black tape. That invention provided extra hot water for my grandmother and their seven active children.
Last Wednesday the USTDA hosted a conference in San Francisco of renewable and clean energy governmental and private parties interested in participating in the development of new plants in Morroco, Egypt, and Lebanon.
Amazing working going forward on in these middle east countries where the hydrocarbon is in short supply. Imagine: 97% of Morroco's energy relies on imported hydrocarbons.
Both Morroco and Egypt have governmental agencies with land, permitting, garunteed feed, and rates based and paid in US cents per kilowatt hour.
American companies are not in the lead. The Germans, French, Spanish, and even Italiens are all active in the area, yet there is plenty of room for all.
Each of these countries has in excess of 230 days of sunshine, and millions of acres of desert just waiting for solar panels and wires to create clean energy and improve the lives of millions of people while providing power developers handsome rewards for their efforts.
