If anything, covering a decent chunk of the Sahara with solar panels may be the only thing capable of stopping or at least reducing the speed of desertification. It's a virtually dead "eco"system anyway, it can't be fucked up more than it already is.
The desert is still a living ecosystem, that was my point. And quite a pristine one. I guess not anymore, because we need to “save” nature by destroying the few bits of pristine nature we still have left.
