Hi I

Solar energy for export means they want to capture the sun's rays thru panels and collectors and transport it by cable to the north. That's what TREC and DESERTEC are about.

TREC is a 500 billion dollar plan.

The Saudis want solar for their Kindgom Project Expansion program building six 21st Century Cities. Thats a 500 billion dollar program by itself. The Saudi Electric article in my post a few numbers back is about building power plants for them, but also to start testing Solar with a 20 megawatt feasibility study.

For both their own cities and for export, they can just cover their deserts with solar panels by Solterra. What Solterra does with the Saudis we can do with every country on earth.

I came across GRE based in Abu Dhabi which is a regional group in the middle east which just last month held its first meeting / conference on renewable energy.

All over the Middle East they want Solar Projects. Solar is the 21st century energy. The Saudis can replace their diminishing oil supplies by having Solar energy to sell.

IH8ALOSS, you are right that something hot is happening over there. The Arabs have money and they are not wasting time.
