I think that plan would create more problems than it would solve and is pretty impractical.

For example, it talks about desalinization plants, which would require pumping water thousands of miles. Solar panels in the desert would require water to keep them clean. There would need to be cities built along the border for the worker doing the construction and running the energy farms. It is not by mistake that area of the world has such a low population density. Interesting idea, but would expect it to be less attractive as it is further explored as a possibility.
