There is more solar energy in the Sahara than Africa and Europe combined would be able to consume. That’s why several major industrial concerns have joined forces. Their plan: to produce electricity in North Africa in order to subsequently transport it to Europe. The documentary POWER FROM THE DESERT (original title: STROM AUS DER WÜSTE) documents the opportunities and risks of a project in the billions.
