You'll see nothing but large areas of land with no water that really aren't fit for anything BUT producing solar energy. America has hundreds of thousands of square miles of it - an untapped resource.


Been there - probably fine right up until they find the rare burrowing sand lizard who's habitat you destroy by producing shade as a by product of solar arrays. :-)

As I've stated a hundred times - go for it, they have arrays already like this in desert areas that seem to be "working" whether they're producing a positive ROI - I can't say. If they are then the money will flow and more will be built. Again the primary role of government should be to permit these plants to be built on what is most likely government/public lands.
