Great, but at such a latitude,the efficiency is not great, in my opinion the best solution is to have a great project to include north Africa and Middle East to supply solar energy based on PV to all Europe as oil and coal, which are causing global warming, will be depleted not too far away and the best altenative is solar energy as geothermal energy will cause cooling of inside the Earth with time which will cause depletion of air around the Earth because the magnetic field will get weakened because of the cooling. Nuclear generating plants, no one can ever say they are 100% reliable in addition to their radio active waste.

Great use of solar energy, great awareness, and great conservation efforts. Just to the north in the Netherlands, "GreenPocket […] has come up with a Smartphone app connecting smart metering with the social web. The pioneering social metering app will be presented for the first time at Metering Billing/ CRM Europe in Amsterdam (October 4-6, 2011)" (Thomas Goette). I'd like to see the app results of customers hear the PV Solar Park.

@mawasfi,
In theory I would agree with you, as obviously power plants in the sunny equatorial desert make more sense. From a economic and geopolitical prospective, however, it is preferable to have power eminating inside of the country rather then continuing to depend on the Middle East/North Africa for energy.
I would absolutely love to see huge desert solar fields, but at the same time I see very little good coming from European (or US, of course) involvement in that part of the world.

Also, I have no data to back myself up on this, but I can't foresee making any significant dent in the temperature of the mantle from geothermal energy. We're talking about 1 billion cubic Kilometers of molten rock.

Geothermal has unlimited capacity!

We have used since about 60 years ago more than half oil reserve and quite allot of coal, it is expected that oil reserve will finish in about 40 years and coal in about 100 years. These reserves have been accumulated for the past million years, who are we to deprive all thousands of future generations from this oil and coal which might be used not for burning but for may be somthing good. For geothermal which I agree is huge, but if technology make its use cheap, then it will be depleted too but for longer period and in this case life will exist no more on Earth. So we have to take action now: never touch geothermal energy
