Just wondering, isn’t it viable to have Solar arrays in the Sahara/equator regions and have the power transmitted to temperate zones? Is the transmission the issue? Is it politics? Super conductors? I’d love to know why we can’t have a follow the sun global grid…

There is a plan afoot to cable electricity from an Australian solar farm to Singapore, so these things may be in the future: https://suncable.energy/

Politics. Look what's happening to Germany with Russian gas.
