    They can still go all out on solar, it’s not like they’re pumping all that oil for themselves only

      there is the idea of exporting solar from Morocco to UK.

      There’s others where it’s proposed to build a a high voltage line from Morocco to Spain, France, Germany. Eventually, they’ll upgrade the grid to be able to move power from one region to another.

      Same thing in the states, southern states generate for the north in the winter and in the summer the north to the south to help with high demand from AC.

        The western countries are just needlessly delaying energy independence. They are hostile to life itself.

          We elect conservatives, they are afraid of change. It is as simple as that.

            It’s more like elite psychology. Positions of power self-select for a very specific kind of bad person, who would rather die, than have peasants become any more free.

              This effect exists, as well amongst left wing leaders, yet we do observe more diminishing inequalities in countries ruled by left-wing coalitions.

              I do think that power-seeking individuals will tend to be anti-equality, yet to some extent, democracy works as the left-wing variety of these individuals have to conquer power by increasing redistribution.

        Before the Arab Spring there was even a more ambitious plan: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desertec#/media/File:DESERTEC-Map_large.jpg

        Long distance power transmission also effectively makes the day length longer, lessening the need for storage.
