If you BELIEVE, they dont need thousands of acres, you have never seen a large scale solar project, and if you dont "BELIEVE", it is your opinion there are no environmental consequences.
7600 acres is what Saudi Arabia has proposed for one solar project. No environmental consequences that you have seen? You should of kept you comment shorter, cause it is pretty easy to say, you have not seen Shit!
Of course I have. I go back to visit as often as I can and visit KAUST and talk with the hy-solar people, engineers and such. .. Maybe they just don't have the money or the will to do it right in the Mohave desert.
