　　阅读理解。阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

　　For decades, Morocco, the only North African nation without large quantities of oil, combed the surrounding desert in search of fossil fuels. But roughly a year and a half ago, the country turned to a resource that exists in abundance across the region: the sun.

　　Now Europe—long dependent on Middle Eastern oil and Russian natural gas—has begun to look toward the heat of the Sahara for some of its long-term energy needs. By 2050, roughly 15 percent of European energy could be produced by wind and solar-thermal(太阳能热) power in North Africa and parts of the Middle East, according to Dii, widely known as Desertec, a group of mostly European companies such as Siemens that are developing clean-energy technology in the region. Although the effort—expected to cost ＄510 billion—is still in the early stage of development, analysts say Morocco has far more aggressive investment plans than its regional rivals(竞争对手) and is well positioned to become North Africa’s leading provider of renewable energy, especially solar-thermal.
