there is the idea of exporting solar from Morocco to UK.
There’s others where it’s proposed to build a a high voltage line from Morocco to Spain, France, Germany. Eventually, they’ll upgrade the grid to be able to move power from one region to another.
Same thing in the states, southern states generate for the north in the winter and in the summer the north to the south to help with high demand from AC.

The western countries are just needlessly delaying energy independence. They are hostile to life itself.

We elect conservatives, they are afraid of change. It is as simple as that.

It’s more like elite psychology. Positions of power self-select for a very specific kind of bad person, who would rather die, than have peasants become any more free.
