Morocco goes green and healthy

Morocco hopes to be less dependent on foreign energy sources and protect the environment by making a huge solar power project.

It is the $9 billion project that hopes to create 2,000 MW by 2020, and would reduce the kingdom's reliance on imports of electricity, oil and gas. In 2007 this was 96% of Morocco's power, and this made Morocco a very unfrendly Kingdom with the enviorment.

The project is to be more ecofriendly; we hope to protect the environment and sease the climate change, according to Minister of Energy and Mining Amina Benkhadra, who presented the project on Monday November 2nd, this year.

"The project will reduce energy imports by saving the equivalent of a million tonnes of oil per year," said the minister, adding that it will "help protect the environment by cutting carbon dioxide emissions by 3.7 million tonnes annually".

The wanted capacity of 2,000 MW by 2020 will be the equivilant of 38% of the of the other three main power plants. This new power plant will be on a 10,000 hekter area.ers.

To be sertan that these goals will be achieved, the project will also consist of introducing solar energy programmes to colleges of engineering and universities. The project will as well train technicians to be ready for this big turn in Morocco's economy and realtion with the enviorment.The project is said to be financed by foreing private companies and the governemt.

Moroccan officials also say that the production will be of 5 kWh per square metre per day of solar radiation and 3,000 hours of sunshine per year, which will could make Morocco a more environmentally-friendly Morocco.

Morocco wants to get rid of the need for forien electricity, and to be a more inviormently firendly Kingdom.

I need some comments people

Please send any comments you might ever have, I am open to just about anything.

A compromise

A compromise is a settlement of differences in which each side makes concessions; something that combines qualities or elements of different things. This happens in daily life, and this can happen in politics, a student life, an adult life, and beleive it or not even in a teaneger's life. These compromises can happen between two boys, two men, two wimen, two girls, or even between a boy and a girl, but sometimes things just can't be compromised for a reason or another.

Here are some place where we just can give in at all:

• When it goes against religious belifs
• Where it goes against human rights
• Where it goes against family or religious tradition
• When I just don't want to say yes
• When I am supirior and there fore don't need to comprimise
• When I am feeling like this might hurt me in the future
• Etc.

You see there are many reasons why people might say no to a compromise eventough we all make compromises everyday. Here are some personel examples

• I will never have a tatoo
• I will never smoke
• I will never do something wrong that is permanent
• I will never try to ruin my life
• I will never use steriod
• I will never do drugs except for cofee(yea its a drug and still leagal, how shoking is it not?)
• I will never try to rip off someone

Now I will never do these things because they go against my religion. An adult might not do these same things because they would hurt him, or maybe also go against his religion or personel belifs. This is just to come and say that everyone is different, and that we can not comprimise everything in our lives. And we will not because we have brains to think with.

The story of the prophert (salla allaho alihi)

I know this great video made I beleive in 2004, that tells the story of Mohamed (s...). I saw this video at the Trent unerversity of Peterborough, Ontario, Canada. It was the best simplest was I heard and actualy understood the story. Anyway, there is a copy of this wouderful movie on Youtube if you are interested; just go on Youtube and type: the story of Mohamed in a cartoon. There is a series to choose from, the one you should pick is the 10 minute one. Oh, and there is something else, you should continue to see the next one it will show you what part it is.

Have fun,

Where I would live when I grow up

I am seriously planing on having a bachelor in human resources, a masters degree in information technology, and a P.H.D. in business. I believe that these will make me a fantastic business man that will travel around the world. I wish to make a lot of money and have fun during my life. I love to travel and wish not to stay in one place but in many countries. Of course my base country will be Morocco because of the family, friends, and memories. There will be three regions that I will live in the most, first in central Europe, Morocco, and in North America.

Moroccan Government

Political parties in Morocco lists political parties in Morocco.

Morocco has many political since its independence in 1956. In this way the separation of powers from the people that are elected is very well done,even better than the four branch system in the United States, but the king is always the ultimate power ruling over the entire country. However some political posts are not picked by the people, both the post of the Prime Minister and the other ministers are chosen by the King of Morocco, Mohamed the 6th.

Since Morocco considers the Western Sahara a region of its own, the political parties are also there under Moroccan control and authority. The power chain goes like this, from the most power on top to the least power on the bottom:

• The King/ Mohamed the 6th with 100% power
• Makhzen/ translated into English it means governement and it is the people that work directly with the king
• Prime Minister/ Abbas El Fassi was elected into the post of Priminister when he was elected by the magority of the parliament, from his experimental regional parties.
• Parliament/ There are two seasons when these people are elected every four and eight years depending on the season. People in the parliament that are elected for a four period long job are elected in the summer directly by the votes of the people. From each region there are five experimentalist that are elected. These five that are elected can be from the same political party if they have almost all or most of the votes, if not there could only be one or two or three depending on the amount of votes the people send to the political parties. Each political party has a list of people that are running for the parliament, and at the top there are the ones that pass first. One must understand that each region has the same competing political parties, but not between regions but rather withing regions. As for the parliament that runs for an eight year long period, they have to be elected first represent the place and the people they live by, this is usually a circle with a six kilometer radius. When they are elected by the people that they represent, they need to get a confirmation by the government in Rabat that they will run for the parliament, but this time each region will only have one list of running people for the parliament, and the same rules apply except at this point it is not the people that vote who will pass to the parliament but rater the ones representing the people.
• Assembly of Councils/ Some of the people in the assembly of representatives that get the confiration by Rabat but do not pass to the parliament get a higher rank than the representatives, but still about the same jobe. They work a nine year term.
• Assembly of Representatives/ As I said earlier these are the people that represent the people that they live by at a six kiloliter radius circle.

The government of Morocco is absolutely fabulous except for one thing, this is that there are still bribes being given by all the forms of goverment to the people to elect them, and from all the people to the govement officals to help them out. The smallest of the bribes go to the police.
