However, I don't know why existing buildings, plants, abandoned lots, etc can't be used to help facilitate that. I'm not saying that's the end all/be all, but if we just continue to take over open land and deserts, where will it stop? The Mohave is truly a hot spot in terms of solar and wind farms versus protecting the desert tortoise in their natural habitat. I would love to see other options exhausted first.
