There is no doubt that the development of Desertec will be a challenge for its
architects, promoters and supporters. Technical difficulties will add to
financing and regulatory issues never anticipated before, further magnified by
cultural differences that exist between countries involved in this giant
project. But despite all the difficulties of the world, the project must succeed
and there is plenty of evidence and good reasons why I think it will.

temptation to credit European consumers for this start of recovery, the biggest
positive impact has no doubt been the excellent weather conditions that have had
strong positive repercussion on farming.
