One proposal is to link the UK to Morocco, which would supply up to 8% of the UK's electricity consumption with a single project. The site would generate 24/7 clean power by a combination of predictable sunshine, predictable wind patterns, and the remainder by batteries.

From reading about the project, it seems the biggest hurdle by far is getting the lengthy cable built. The project is forced to figure out the manufacturing of it's own cable, as there doesn't seem to be enough global capacity to provide it to them externally.

Morocco? If Europeans can stop for 10 minutes whining about democracy and human rights and take a page from China's playbook we can take Africa back.
Oh Europeans shall 'take Africa back' in your opinion?

Wow ok

One that they(EU) don't see bombing or invading
