    Hi Jesse, this infographic has some really interesting information about Morocco! I was surprised to learn how much Morocco has invested in renewable energy for the future. I really liked all of the info here, I can really understand what Morocco’s goal is towards sustainability. I think the infographic could have more variety in design elements and better readability. Good job!

    Hello Jesse,

    Your infographic’s visuals are phenomenal truly capturing the rich culture of Morocco! The importance of embracing renewable energy benefits the way of life for the people. The harnessing of natural resources that Morocco’s environment already provides goes to show that the government does not have to work against the elements but needs to embrace them to benefit one another. The way other African countries are following behind will bring more prosperity to the amazing natural resources that each African country has to offer. The continued support for the leadership in increasing the amount of renewable energy goes to show that people are not opposed to new innovative resources. Investing in renewal energy is an investment on the future clearly from Morocco’s perspective and tactic. The alignment between the King and his son to continue the mission is a promise for the future of Morocco. What are some reasons that citizens would not want to invest in renewable energy?

    What surprised me most about this country is that this is fossil fuel subsidies once made up 6.6% of Morocco’s GDP, but reforms boosted renewable energy investment. The best part of this infographic was the Moroccos Renewable Energy Revolution. To see all the effort and dedication put forward to meet their goals for renewable and sustainable energy is inspiring. Hopefully we, in the United States can get back on track one day and follow their lead. Great presentation.

    What I enjoyed about your presentation was the comprehensive information you provided, which was accompanied with an Arabic greeting, farewell, and video. All four of these components separated you from your peers and helped you to stand out. Great thinking outside the box! I thought your layout, graphics and use of color was spot on!

    I also found it informative to know how Morocco is providing renewable resources and are climate conscious— and this is allowing them to provide more jobs for Moroccans! This is a big bonus for them. They are definitely moving in the right direction, and it is my opinion their wind farms are going to make them a lot of money. I say this because Texas provides 12% of the nation’s electricity and generates 26% of the electricity in the U.S (Accounts, T. C. of P., 2023). 12% is a big chunk of electricity.

    Keep up the great work and thank you for your service… ooh-rah!

    Going off a previous comment. I think it is fascinating that a country, more known for its abundance of oil and other non-renewables is making a change in how it approaches green energy. This will hopefully lead other African countries like it down the line to maybe follow in the footsteps of Morocco, which is an interesting change of things. I do think something like a more prominent back shadow might be needed to make the text a little more visible, but all and all, great work!

    Something I learned about Morocco that surprised me is how important the renewable future is to them. I really liked the section that talked about Morocco’s future, looking five years into the future. The best part of this infographic is all the pictures. Morocco looks like a beautiful country from what I saw in this infographic. Overall, I think this was an outstanding infographic and I really enjoyed it!

    1) Learning the Renewable and Beyond and learning the Natural resources and how they had multiple plans for global energy hubs and energy leadership.
    2) The best part of this infographic is the lay out and how there is minimal words but they speak a lot about what the photo has to say and how informative it really is.
    3) I would only changed the letter color since the white can be so hard to see on the background other than that I feel this infographic really educated me.

    Hi Jesse!, I really enjoyed reading your infographic, I was particularly startled by Morocco’s aggressive and speedy shift to renewable energy, which has propelled the country to the forefront of African renewable energy. The most appealing element of this infographic, in my opinion, is its clear portrayal of Morocco’s renewable energy milestones and future targets, which highlight the country’s growth.

  • Rebecca Amaya

    I was surprised to learn that Morocco is a global leader in renewable energy, specifically its massive solar projects. The best part of the infographic is its bold, colorful design that instantly captivates your attention. Your infographic was so interesting, the only feedback would be to help contrast the font against the background.
