Sahara panels back soon
British Solar Energy, the British solar energy company, has said that supplies from its sprawling Sahara complex should be back online “very nearly before too long”.
Supplies have suffered considerable interruption recently, causing blackouts over the less irradiated regions of Britain.
In a statement, BSE blamed so-called “landscape terrorists” similar to the British Union for Natural Greenery, Landscapes and Englishness (BUNGLE), which blew up 40 windmills in the Lake District last year for “interfering with the view”.
The Sahara terrorists are thought to be cultural fanatics of a generally British and American persuasion. Extremists are said to be outraged at the “destruction” of landscapes depicted in Lawrence of Arabia and Star Wars, and their blockbuster Bollywood remakes.
The Sahara desert contains some two million solar panels, with over 10,000 new ones being added every month.
Owing to Britain’s pioneering start in the clean coal and renewable nuclear industries, 90 per cent of the panels’ solar energy output goes to other countries.
