Worlds Largest Solar Plant Planned...

...for the Sahara desert around 2020! This solar plant could potentially power all of Europe, if not the world. Whether it will be completed or not is another matter, but this raises a huge question...will projects like this help make solar energy as our primary source of fuel a reality, or is it just wishful thinking? How will these Solar plants be maintained (i.e. how are you going to find thousands of engineers in Africa to build/maintain this kind of project?). Maybe it will put the pressure on PG&E to finish its solar power plant in the Mojave. [Article]
