To get a feel for Morocco's green energy potential, simply stand beneath the sun on the blistering sands of the Sahara Desert or pay a visit to the windswept town of Essaouira, a popular seaside resort on the Atlantic coast, about a 100 miles west of the storied city of Marrakech. In both places, the former French colony's solar and wind power possibilities are quite obvious.

Given the unforgiving amount of sunlight that Africa recieves everyday it makes it a potentially great place for the development of a large Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) industry.
