Another economic lifeline and tether to Mid East countries, because we all know how politically stable that region is, not to mention the vast economic blackmail potential.

Yes, precisely! It would be terrible if the potential Desertec funding from Germany had to go there, when the real deal of Desertec is ready to go.

I think this is smack in the middle of Desertec plans, though the competition for who gets funds first might heat up.

Greece is sunny yes, but it’s too densely populated and hilly to offer the right kind of real estate that CSP needs, isn’t it? The right locations will have to be purchased at a premium, locals and farmers will be hard to win over or there will have to be serious damages to natural habitats, All of it adding to the cost. I think that roof top solar panels and wind might be the way to go for Greece.
