Will a thousand acre solar plant destroy native species?

The Native American heritage in the region is not the only case of disruption. Just as wind farms affect bird migration and hydropower plants impact fish breeding grounds, a thousand-acre solar plant will inevitably destroy native species' habitats.

Why are solar farms coming to India?

The global south has a lot of empty land, better access to sunshine and much more unmet demand. Adani Green Energy, one of the world’s largest solar developers, has obtained the rights to build solar farms on two vast tracts of land in India, one in Gujarat, near the border with Pakistan, the other in Rajasthan.

Is the Sun winning energy-generation technology?

“There is no other energy-generation tech where you install 1m or one of the same thing depending on your application,” says Rob Carlson, a technology investor; as he puts it in a white paper, “The Sun has won”. The key to the way this demand grows is to be found in the industry’s “experience curve”.

Can California build a solar power plant with a million solar panels?

California has set strict mandates to produce a third of their energy from renewables by 2020, opening a market for such a large-scale project. To construct such a power plant with a million individual panels, each solar cell must be extremely cheap.

Will cheaper-than-chips solar power increase electricity demand?

Unmet need for air conditioning alone is in the terawatts, and will only grow as the population and temperatures rise. But cheaper-than-chips solar will also stimulate innovations that increase electricity demand further everywhere. William Jevons, a 19th-century economist, pointed out that when energy gets cheaper, people use more of it.
