Ecco perché è assurdo tappezzare il Sahara di pannelli solari
Why not fill the Sahara with solar panels? Could this solve the world's energy problem? Solar energy is an excellent renewable energy source, but currently, it alone cannot meet all global electricity demand. There are many reasons for this, and in this video, we try to understand, with hypotheses and calculations, whether it's possible to cover the Sahara with solar panels and, if so, what environmental impact it would have. 00:00 Solar panels in the Sahara Desert 00:28 Why don't we cover the Sahara with solar panels? 02:36 How many solar panels would be needed to meet current global energy demand? 02:47 How much space would solar panels take up in the Sahara? 03:20 How much would they cost? 03:49 How is the infrastructure to transport energy around the world created? 05:10 What environmental impact could it have? 06:30 Is filling the Sahara with solar panels a viable solution?
