Future Perfect Generating green energy in the desert

What’s Happening Right Now?

As far as meeting the ever growing energy need of the world is concerned, two distinct trends are clearly visible. First, there is a growing realization among policy makers, researchers and the general public that existing resources of energy are depleting faster than ever and that a permanent solution has not yet been found. Second, ideas for harnessing alternative sources of energy like water, wind, and sun are being implemented, even though on a small scale. As a part of the second trend, plans for harnessing solar energy in the vast spread deserts like the Sahara have been made in recent times, as you will see below.

As we know it

We know bridges as a connecting plane between two distant and unconnected places. This is what they have been so far.

Designers are now planning to build bridges which would also generate energy from renewable sources, besides connecting two distant places. In fact these “energy generating bridges” are the future as far as bridge construction is concerned. Having bridges to act as energy farms are also advantageous because precious land is saved since both energy farms and bridges are combined into one single structure.
