Dear MEL Topic Readers

Large-scale wind and solar power ‘could green the Sahara’

Generating renewable energy in the Sahara. This sounds bold enough, but it could also green the desert. Why?

Though the Sahara isn’t so populated or industrialized, it is close to Europe and the Middle East where a substantial amount of energy is consumed. And these markets are desperate to switch from conventional power generators to renewable energies. So, installing solar panels and wind turbines in the sunny and windy desert makes perfect sense.

But researchers have recently found a surprising byproduct by these clean-power generators in the desert. These solar panels and wind turbines could increase precipitation in the dry desert to the level that allows vegetation to grow on the surface.

How could that be possible?

Enjoy reading and learning what renewable energy devices could to the environment.
