Just to put the market into perspective, the UK was looking to build an undersea cable to push power from Morocco but canceled it [1]. That cable would have provided somewhere around 8% of the power to the UK and the whole project was slated to cost 25bn pounds (~$33b USD). Imagine sahara solar shipping could provide that but also supply (cheaper) to Spain, Italy, etc. As the tech gets better and cheaper the Americas could become customers too. Suddenly Timbuktu becoming an energy hub for the world doesn't sound as crazy as, well, it sounds.
