    When your nation falls apart and your city becomes an extensive warzone for years, the main power grid probably isn’t top notch. But the sun works just fine!

    If it wasn’t for oil making the middle east insanely rich, imagine what they could do with solar

      They can still go all out on solar, it’s not like they’re pumping all that oil for themselves only

        there is the idea of exporting solar from Morocco to UK.

        There’s others where it’s proposed to build a a high voltage line from Morocco to Spain, France, Germany. Eventually, they’ll upgrade the grid to be able to move power from one region to another.

        Same thing in the states, southern states generate for the north in the winter and in the summer the north to the south to help with high demand from AC.

              It’s more like elite psychology. Positions of power self-select for a very specific kind of bad person, who would rather die, than have peasants become any more free.
