Billionaire who made fortune from coal is building world’s largest renewable energy plant visible from space

A billionaire CEO whose family made its fortune from coal mining is building the world’s largest renewable energy plant that will be visible from space when complete, according to a report.

Sagar Adani of Adani Green Energy Limited (AGEL) plans to transform 200 square miles of empty and barren salt deserts in India into a massive energy park utilizing solar and wind power plants, he told CNN Business.

“A region so large, a region that is so unencumbered, there’s no wildlife, there’s no vegetation, there’s no habitation. There is no better alternative use of that land,” Andani told CNN.
