Timothy Said:

why dont we build giant solar panels in deserts ie Sahara to power the world?

We Answered:

voltage drop is the major problem. were talking hundreds of miles to get anywhere in the sahara.
then where is the power going? tunisia, morrocco, egypt?
its really un-economically viable, as the materials (all environment unfriendly) will cost billions! the world, dont forget is run by big corporations, who are entail backed by multi investors. who's going to invest in this project
1. it will cost billions, and the return will be nothing!
sounds great, where can i buy some shares?
