Of course, to be absolutely clear, antinukes and "I'm not an antinuke" antinukes have never, do not now, and never will care about the destruction of wilderness nor have they ever, nor do they do, nor will they ever care about fossil fuels.

To begin with, this is how I see Solar being advantageous to deserts and arid climates. Not only do the panels provide shade where none exists, but they can also provide moisture from the condensation on the panels.

There are other examples of where solar has helped to reverse the desertification of arid lands - in Africa and China, that I have seen.

In the end it doesn't matter what you or I think, it's what is happening world-wide. Now that the orange idiot has blocked panels from China, look who is getting those panels instead...
