    even deserts host life. it’s kind of a ecological misnomer that we could just cover the deserts of the world in solar panels. that would have serious repercussions.

      What repercussions could covering a few acres more in the mojave with solar panels have?

      Also, the ocean is a desert with its life underground and the perfect disguise above.

      Honestly if we could get space elevators figured out, the best place to put solar panels would be in the upper atmosphere. Tethered to the ground by massive columns that feed the energy they collect to massive capacitors on the ground?
