Desertec video - solar power from the Sahara

A Scriberia animation describes the "Desertec" project - using solar power concentrators in North Africa and bringing power to Europe with High Voltage DC lines. Why not?

I had a hand in organising the event at which Michael Düren presented this, and I provided the direction for the animation. You might remember openEconomics' previous coverage of the project.
