This is despite our climate and continent being the most ideal on Earth to support such technologies with hot, dry, sunny, geologically stable, modern technological infrastructure, easy access to technology and skilled workers needed to build and maintain such facilities, thousands of km2 of suitable land. Meanwhile Spain just goes ahead and DOES it. More here…
