It's time for Big Solar!

High oil prices are making massive scale solar projects look more and more attractive.

For an investment of $400 billion over 30 years, an ambitious solar plan could eventually power Europe plus two-thirds of the MENA countries by 2050, while dramatically cutting C02 emissions and phasing out nuclear power at the same time.

That’s a sizeable chunk of the whole world’s energy needs. And for only $13 billion per year.
