Don't worry, Neo...when we argue against each other about off-shore drilling I'll purposefully say "Absorb, Baby! Absorb!" We'll be even then ;)

In numbers of species, the desert could have more. Its just that most people notice the forest more.

Obviously, Antarctica is the best place for solar panels. Too bad they have that "not much sun" thing going on...

If Bush were still president he would declare war on California and bomb that desert back to the stone age.

Not really. You'd need wireless transfer of energy, which would likely burn the ozone layer - kinda defeats the purpose.

That's because England is a cloudy place. Which is why you put solar panels in deserts.

Why the desert? The sun shines in plenty of places where there is already power infrastructure.

I don't understand why we would want to place solar panels in the middle of nowhere and spend a ton of money to wire them up when there are millions of office buildings with empty roof's (rooves?) that already are on the grid.

The implication here is that you need to go somewhere HOT to get solar power, which is not the case...it just has to be bright.

I'm not sure anybody sensible is making that assumption - deserts are great for solar precisely because they receive a LOT of sunlight.
