Twelve major companies have signed an agreement to move forward with the gigantic solar power belt planned for the Sahara desert. When completed it will output a stunning 100 GW. Wow. (1 GW is equal to a nuclear facility or a big coal plant.)

Inhabitat has more.

    Wow! That would be a boon for sub-Saharan Africa, as well as Europe! If I were going to plunk down dollars on foreign investments, Africa looks ripe for the plucking. So many resources! So many markets! A wealthy Africa make the whole world wealthier, just as a healthier Africa makes the whole world healthier. We’re all in this together.
