Lets cover 1.2% of the Sahara desert with solar panels and we could balance it out with a huge offshore wind farm over the Pacific and Atlantic.

More research and development of ambient temperature super conductivity would be better.

And it would be in their back yard instead of far away and out of sight

But we are speculating

I’d rather hear what Jessica-stormlover has to say

you actually think she or he or whatever it says it is will actually answer?...

I realized that, I could have made a separate comment, but my thought was inspired by your comments.

I love the desert, each one is unique and the ones I been to are very diverse. It really is ignorant for anyone to suggest damaging the environment with solar panels. Especially considering how many we need and how often they would be replaced.

Oil companies love solar panels, it is a very large market for their products.

anybody posting with an Elektra label is closer to the desert than others

Solar panels start losing efficiency above 77 degrees Fahrenheit.

Yes they are believed to lose between 0.3-0.5% efficiency for every degree above 25°C.

Apparently not

But who knows?

I had no idea crocodiles lived in the sahara desert

We can all live in pods and eat bugs.

How are people so stupid. My entire life I watched the The Wild Kingdom and National Geographic. We were taught to save the few precious animals of Africa. Now, they must be destroyed? So oil corporations and wall st can sell more stuff.

What a bunch of nattering Debbie Downers!

yea, because the Democrats homes and public housing is filled with cockroaches the Democrats think they could raise cockroaches as food. Democrats would screw that up as well and leave us starving.

How so?

We have many decades with hundreds of billions of dollars if not trillions spent on research on solar panel technologies. It should be much better in efficiency and survivability and environmentally. A few decades ago, when the roof shingles that were also of solar panel technology turned out to be bullshit, I started to lose belief and started to think scams to enrich the corrupted. The structures on individual homes roofs are still somewhat ungainly and not cosmetically compatible.

Speculating about what?

You heard what Jessica said, it is the OP

I asked why africa instead of california?

And no reply from the op so far
