Online Public Relations Thoughts

This is an example of solving one environmental problem and creating others at the same time. Vast solar power generating farms are covering the Mojave desert in California but destroying the fragile ecosystem.  There is no good place to put these farms and the desert seems to be the least objectionable site for them.  Not so, say desert residents and ecologists. The result is competing environmental messages with a weight of facts on both sides.  There is no answer that will solve the problem.  The weight of political influence and population is driving the construction of these farms, so there is little to stop them.  The scattered desert residents will have to give way, but maybe some day their voices will be heard.  By then, it might be too late.
