Les déserts en tant que centrales électriques durables et usines à eau douce pour le monde
A lire en intégralité par tous ceux qui cherchent des solutions aux problématiques et climatiques actuelles :

Je cherche des volontaires pour la traduction de l'article Deserts as sustainable powerhouses and inexhaustible waterworks for the world. Merci - Olivier
Données clés :
1. The solar energy available in deserts is more than 700 times the present global primary energy consumption. This is far more than needed to replace fossil fuels.
2. Solar thermal power plants can store solar heat and generate solar power according to demand, also at night (secured capacity).
3. Technologies for power production and long-distance transmission to over 90% of world population are at hand. (perte de 3% pour 1000km lors du tranfert de l'électriicté par cable)
4. In a solar energy co-operation technology-belt and sun-belt can achieve energy, water and climate security, and stable power production costs of 4 – 8 c$/kWh.
5. Investments into mining technologies for fossil fuels will accelerate their depletion and boost climate change, while better solar technology will be beneficial for all future.
6. An Apollo-like program for bringing deserts into service for energy, water and climate security, as proposed by Prince El Hassan from Jordan at the Hanover Industrial Fair 2006, could be organized immediately.
7. TREC and The Club of Rome are calling for a conference DESERTEC to bring technology- and sun-belt countries to action.
8. Solar energy from deserts can give energy security to the world, and it can stop the ongoing devastation of the Earth by fossil fuels.
