The United States of America is backing Morocco's gas projects. Washington is willing to assist the Kingdom's plans to export liquified natural gas to Europe.
Researchers have concluded that solar and wind energy projects carried in southern Morocco could increase rain and vegetation in the Sahara. The study released on Friday says that energy generation will reduce carbon emissions and thus mitigate anthropogenic climate change.
