As we travel this familiar highway I am amazed by how busy this once empty desert is becoming. There are miles of dairies. How is that feasible in the desert? Water has to pumped up from deep wells that are draining the aquifers far below the surface.
Wind turbines are springing up like mushrooms and great expanses of solar panels stretch as far as the eye can see.
Lots of sun energy to be collected here, but at great cost to the natural world. I do wish they would include them instead into roofs and highways that already cover so much space on planet earth.
