Sahara Forest Project Converts Desert into Oasis

Inhabitat - Recently a trio of entrepreneurs announced an incredible solution for the world's resource problems: turn the Sahara desert into a source for food, water, and energy. The Sahara Forest Project (.PDF) is a solution that combines seemingly disparate technologies – Concentrated solar power and Seawater Greenhouses – and turns them into a mean, green super-massive biomachine. The elegant system could potentially produce enough energy for all of Africa and Europe while turning one of the world's most inhospitable regions into a flourishing oasis.
