I guess that it is okay to tear up a huge chunk of pristine desert so California can say it is going green.
And, I can tell you that they never did the math on the carbon footprint.
That field, with its very green plants was a net-negative CO2 location.
Now, it is neutral...at best.
Then add on the carbon footprint of manufacture and installation and you have an absolute failure.
To be worsened by the end-of-life disposal for those panels.
