Hot African Deserts
Power Cool German Neighberhoods
For quite a long time, scientists have had high hopes to economically produce solar electricity in deserts.

Power
From the Sahara
The desert power project DESERTEC has proponents and opponents. Its advocates see a huge change for the future in it.

Egypt 2020

By 2020, a total of 20% of Egypt's electricity shall be generated from renewable energy sources. The natural condiditons in the country, without doubt, are favourable for the endeavour.

Egypt is part of the North African "Sun Belt" and therefore an ideal location for solar plants (in particular using concentrated solar power technologies.)

"Yes" we like the food", says Adnan Al-Akori with his charming smile, "but not that much". Today we had chicken and chips and Sauerkraut, and when the waiter removed the plates, it was apparent that almost nobody had touched the Sauerkraut. But of course Al-Akori did not really mean that. He and his colleagues at the table have become almost regular customers in Berlin's "Pfefferberg". Since more than a week now, they come here to dine. "Their" name is written in chalk on the green board: RCREEE.
