Conductivity decreases over length. To get power from the Sahara to Europe wouldn't be that smart.

I love how someone suggested that Europe go hundreds of miles away to utilise what's pretty much the least efficient means of producing electricity on a large scale right now, and instead of discussing how stupid of an idea that is, we're discussing the difficulty in transporting such electricity which would be unrealistically expensive anyway.

Lets say it was generating 100 000kW, the loss that would occure in a 1000km@40kv cable would be 49 00kW so it would lose almost half of the energy on its way, voltage could be upped though.

^Also the cable has 2500 amps on it, good luck not melting anything.
