We're back - an energy catchup

Firstly, apologies for the lack of activity over the last few months - we've been stretched for time and unable to keep the blog going to a decent level. Things have settled down a little now, and we are now back in the swing of things. Fortunately, it's been a quiet couple of months for the Scottish energy sector, so we haven't really missed all that much - haha ;).

The project had hoped to deliver an electricity generation network to Europe from the African continent via a network of underground cables from completely renewable sources. Unfortunately the Desertec initiative has hit a snag because two large industrial backers have pulled investment out as well as the Spanish government have hesitated in signing an agreement with Morocco in order to have the solar “farms” built. Desertec was initially founded in 2009 and its projected budget was...
