This video clip [01:28] from the YouTube Channel NoCamels, which reports on cutting edge Israeli innovations, shows Israel’s « Solar Valley » a massive clean energy « farm » in the Negev Desert. In 2018, the solar farm had four national goals:
- Economic Goals: Reduce the amount of imported energy, and thereby decreasing trade deficit
- Political Goals: Reduce dependence on foreign bodies
- Ecological Goals: Decrease the amount of air pollution
- Scientific Goals: Promote local technologies while also implementing new technologies from other countries
The project aims to provide 10% of the total energy intake in Israel by 2020.
