The DESERTEC Concept
Description
Using less than 0.3 percent of the entire desert areas of the MENA (Middle East & North Africa) region, solar thermal power plants can generate enough electricity and desalinated seawater to supply current demands in EU-MENA, and anticipated increases in those demands in the future.

      This is one of my favourite ideas for meeting our energy needs. The same idea could be used in desert areas in the USA as well; there is already a large CSP plant being built in California.
