Due to deforestation, global warming and lack of fresh (surface) water acres of land turn into dust every year. Desertification, as it is called, is hard to stop and may turn a significant percentage of our landmass into unusable soil.
Recently a group of people from several companies/organizations have come up with an idea which combines seawater greenhouses and concentrated solar power to solve the problem of desertification along with the shortage of water, food and energy.
By pumping saltwater into greenhouses you can extract fresh water from the ocean. These greenhouses are powered by concentrated solar power stations, which on their turn are provided with fresh water from the greenhouses. The surplus of fresh water is then used to grow crops for food and biofuel. By planting crops to produce food and biofuel the desert is revegetated and local communities are provided with food and water.
The project, called ‘The Sahara Forest Project’, is still in the experimental phase and more research has to be done before actual life size tests are implemented.

hey excellent little web site you got right here
I utilize the identical design template on my own yet unfortunately for whatever reason why it appears to reload easier on your site despite the fact that yours has got more material.
