    What else will you do with a desert? Build cities that will dry up more lakes and rivers? Just cover the whole fucking desert in solar and power the country. The guy is so dense.

      There’s a lot more territory for solar if we just set it up all along our Interstate system. We could just let the desert be desert, with its fragile ecosystem intact. The land under the freeways is already fucked. Thinking ahead, we would need to design it to reroute the power if a big crash takes out some panels.
