Europe: Extended Grid Plan
• From Iceland (Northwest) to Israel (Southeast)= 3,200 mi
• Concept of grid is 25,000 miles of line

Biomass
The new high-voltage network would range from the Sahara to the polar cap. The concept calls for main lines that are 40,000 kilometers long. And parts of it already exist.
Connections already in place or planned
