Sahara desert as a solar farm.
Instead of looking at the Sahara desert as a vast unusable wasteland, look at it as good as gold!
Think... If 0.3% of this desert were covered in solar panels, we would have enough energy to power Europe!
Now take that scale to 1%. We could power the U.S and Europe without the use of Nuclear, Coal, and other non renewable "harmful" substances.

Mirrors that reflect sunlight to heat oil, up to 400 degrees Celsius what is used again to generate power with steam. In Marocco it is operational as a try out and produces enough for half a million houses.
