"To house large utility-scale solar power projects, the U.S. can look to its backyard, to places like the Mojave desert or other sun-drenched areas in Arizona and Nevada — many projects are being developed there now. In Europe, besides some outposts on the continent’s Mediterranean coast and some “junior deserts” on the Iberian peninsula, overall, the mild-weather continent is lacking a “Mojave” able to house a string of large solar power plants. However, a consortium of blue chip German companies might have found a solution to this predicament by tapping what’s probably the mother of all deserts: the Sahara." (Quoted from article)
