Sacrificing the desert to save the Earth

21. Should we "mow down" your city instead?

The desert southwest is the best place to put solar power stations, it receives more sunshine than anywhere else in the nation. That is why the President has called for more massive solar projects in the desert regions of California, Nevada, New Mexico and for massive solar projects in Colorado and Utah. It makes sense to put solar power plants where they will get the most solar.

Learn about global warming effects on the desert southwest (see post #14). These desert areas are going to be dust bowls where nothing can survive, certainly not the current species that are barely eking out an existence as it is.

Save tiny little swaths of desert but doom the entire planet, including millions of species of ocean life. That sounds like folly to me.
