Amazing what they say can be done in such short periods of time, when claims are made by the company, and the funds are provided by the people who profit the most off of fossil fuels.

Fossil fuels aren’t forever and it makes sense for Saudi Arabia to use solar power

Any possibility of a synopsis for those not able to open YouTube right now?

Siemens Austria has produced and installed the world's first large-scale, solar-powered desalination plant. The plant in Saudi Arabia is controlled according to the solar energy available, in order that the highest possible proportion of renewable energy is used for water desalination. Along with the electrical, monitoring and control technology, Siemens also supplied the transformers for the power supply system. A further eight seawater desalination plants using Siemens technology are already planned.
