Re: Reclaiming Africa's deserts using.... bacteria?

Well, combining this sand-wall to protect our solar-city from drift, combine the EU's idea of buying solar power from Africa to fund the thing, combine HVDC power lines that only lose 3% per 1000km, and combine the seawater greenhouses, solar thermal desal and other ideas for "greening the desert" with local BIOCHAR sequestration agriculture right smack bang in the middle of the desert, and we have an answer NOT ONLY for powering the EU from renewable power, but economic security for Africa and a new Urban and agricultural heartland for the world, not to mention an enormous Co2 sequestration point!

(Woah, that was all one sentence but I was brainstorming and it all sort of oozed out in a "wibbly wobbly" way at once.)

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.
