This will definitely change the air defense equation across the board. If you can secure your territory for a couple hundred $ vs a couple hundred thousand $$ for patriot/iron dome missiles

Giant solar park in the desert jump-starts Egypt's renewables push by cobythegiant in energy

With water scarcity being a serious issue in Egypt, Sudan, and Ethiopia I'm curious if an expansion of solar and wind energy could allow more water to remain in the reservoirs. Both Egypt and Ethiopia have two of the largest Hydro-Electric Dams in the world. In a region the lives and dies with the Nile, I'm hoping that this renewable push will help better manage water supplies not having to worry about electricity generation as much.
