    I remember the name Desertec, which planned the same thing some 20 years ago. But even back then the main issues were the need for a long HV transmission line and the political instability in northern Africa.

    In the meantime we should have learned that depending on energy from other countries (Russia, middle east) is a disaster waiting to happen.
