And, of course, to build significant acreages of solar farms, you need to destroy ecosystems already existing there. Consider, for example, the case of the desert tortoises that were blocking the construction of the Ivanpah Solar Plant.

This was in the middle of the desert a few dozen miles south of Las Vegas.
