And why not. The North African desert kingdom gets over 3,000 yearly hours of solid reliable sun power – every year. Nine centuries of sun have beaten down on the Kingdom of Morocco since this gate was built. Morocco will invest $9 billion upfront to build 2 Gigawatts of solar power, distributed between 5 solar power plants, by 2020. The 2 GW (2,000 Megawatts) is enough to supply 40% of the nation's electricity to 32 million souls, who apparently have fairly modest energy needs.
