Walker's World: Future energy warsParis (UPI) Jun 13, 2011 Five squadrons of unmanned drones are launched from scattered containers ships in the Mediterranean and off the northwest African coast. Too low to be seen by radar, they fly over the beaches and into the desert, each aiming for one of the giant arrays of mirrors that provide the backbone of Europe's solar energy supply. There are two sites in Algeria, two in Libya and one in Morocco. These vast fields of mirrors, each more than 20 square miles, feed energy into transmission lines that send ele ... read more |
