China starts the biggest megaproject since the Great Wall ― 250 miles and 180,000 kWh


China is world-renowned for its famous sight, the Great Wall, and it seems as if the Chinese are working on their next biggest project inspired by the sight.

The Kubuqi Desert’s dune fields have become the ideal location for the Great Solar Wall, which will be constructed according to a multi-year plan and will produce enough electricity to power Beijing. “The Kubuqi’s sunny weather, flat terrain, and proximity to industrial centers make it a desirable location for solar power generation. Panels are being installed in a long, narrow band of dunes just south of the Yellow River between the cities of Baotou and Bayannur.” – Official NASA statement
