What about them?

Climate change prevention should distance itself from the environmental movement in my opinion. Make it clear that we're focused on stopping global warming for the benefit of humanity. Yes, blanketing deserts in solar panels will destroy habitats. Yes, mining lithium is ecologically destructive. And we should cut environmental regulation for both, because the survival of humanity is more important than desert tortises.

I presume that in the desert environments cool shade is a positive thing. Panels will cover only a small fraction of the land anyway.

Even if it's not ideal, we have urgent big problems to solve, and comfort of lizards and thumbleweed is low on the list.

maybe another biology class? every thing everywhere gets its energy from the sun.

if it was that simple, scorching deserts would have more life than more temperate microclimates that can hold moisture.
