    I was particularly surprised by Morocco’s ambitious and rapid transition to renewable energy, become a leader in renewable energy in Africa. The most compelling aspect of this infographic, in my opinion, is its clear depiction of Morocco’s renewable energy milestones and future goals, showcasing the country’s progress. I enjoyed your infographic!

    Hello Jesse,

    I was surprised to learn how heavily Morocco used to rely on energy imports 90% is such a large number. I didn’t realize how aggressive and strategic their transition toward renewable energy has been, or how much international collaboration they secured to make it happen.

    The best part of this infographic was how visually it tied Morocco’s national pride with its renewable energy achievements. The vibrant colors, royal symbolism, and layout made the information not just clear, but also inspiring. It really emphasized that Morocco’s green initiatives are deeply connected to national identity and leadership.

    One piece of constructive feedback would be to slightly simplify or consolidate the sources on the last slides. Although thorough, the long list can feel a bit overwhelming. Otherwise, the graphics, organization, and storytelling were really strong.

    I was not aware of the moves Morocco has made in transitioning towards green energy and infrastructure. While this kind of transition will require greater input from other countries in the world to truly help mitigate the worst effects of the looming climate catastrophe, it is still a good source of hope to see even smaller nations make such large strides towards this. I would be curious to know if there is any resistance to this transition from within the country, as has been the case for larger countries, particularly those with large oil sectors.

    I was surprised to learn that Morocco has invested so much in clean energy initiatives that it is both a regional and global leader. The most compelling part of this infographic was the inclusion of Morocco’s long-term plans. The fact that Morocco is already making strong efforts and has goals to continue resonates because it shows that countries in other regions can be ambitious too.

    I was surprised by how dependent Morocco has been on imports of energy, with 90% of its energy being imported. The country has been in desperate need of improving its energy independence. Its push toward sustainable energy is an important step and may serve as an example to follow for other African countries.
    The layout of the infographic is structured in such a way that it is very easy to follow, and I enjoyed the illustrations as they help grasp the topic. Excellent job! Thank you!

    Hey Jesse,
    I loved your infographic about Morocco’s striving toward renewable energy! I am surprised, yet thrilled to see that Morocco has invested almost $50 billion in their renewable energy mission. I find the structure of your infographic to be my favorite part, it allows the reader to follow every dimension of Morocco’s renewable energy campaign perfectly. Amazing job!

    I had no idea about the importance of sustainable energy for Morocco, your provided informative infographic that highlighted the importance of this sector. What amazes me is how not only Morocco is a model for Africa, but also for other countries all over the world. The Royal Family members in the country are deeply involved in investments and promoting a sustainable place for future generations.

    What surprised me most about this country is how King Mohammed VI set ambitious goals to generate 52% of Morocco’s electricity from renewables by 2030. How also has committed $49 billion to renewable energy projects. The best part of this infographic was the included slide show presentation of your research.

  • Maricela Hernandez

    What surprises me is that Morocco has had to rely on energy imports, yet it has gone through a journey of using renewable resources. The best part is that the infographic shows the green energy plan, which is essential for a better environment and life quality. Overall, good job!

  • Mia Ramirez

    What surprised me about this infographic is how Morocco relies on 90% energy imports. What caught my attention is how Morocco has a renewable 2030 plan. The best part of this infographic was Morocco’s green energy leadership. By 2030, Morocco aims to generate 52% of its energy from renewable sources. This resonated with me because it seems clear that the country is trying to develop a cleaner approach. This infographic was a great read! I think maybe adding a lighter background color would make it a little bit easier to read the text.
