The primary impediment to turning the deserts green is political. Electricity has nothing to do with it. TEDS is just another leftist rant forum, so it figures that “Anopheles” Bill Gates would rant there.
Still, it’s interesting to note that Gates’ goal is the exact opposite of obama’s with regards to electricity costs...
disagree. primary impediment to turning the deserts green is the cost of desalinizing and transporting desalinated water inland from desert coasts.
The big problem I see is future increases in electricity costs as the lefties work to destroy the coal industry and coal fired generators. And the anti-fracking Luddites want to reverse the expansion of the natural gas industry.
