Yes there is great potential if we aspire to high environmental standards. The one thing that concerns me about the nature of man is this seeming obsession with bigger is better industrial growth at all costs. The way our economies are linked to unsustainable long term growth sometimes scares me, when you consider the vested public interested in this monstrosity of an infrastructure we have created that dominates our lives and largely defines our very existence and yet to now see the fragility of the system we have depended on for years, showing its cracks. Anyway back on topic, and talking about sustainability and adopting technologies that could make it so, such as solar energy etc.. Yes I agree DESERTEC could have great potential and really I do think its the way of the future. We are all going to have to learn to live on less and marry that with the emerging renewable energy technologies that might just help save us in the end. I guess they call it evolution on all fronts.
