#2 Actually the Sahara is probably a good place to put solar and wind power as it won't bother the people living in the big cities near the Mediterranean.

If they get more rain out of it, so what.

#4 Skid, that solar farm is going in about 8 miles from my house; they cut the transmission line through my next door neighbors property but surveyed/located incorrectly and did not have rights or easement for it. My suspicion is that the project is a subsidy/investment mining project, not an energy producing project, and they really don't care if it succeeds or fails. (Think 'The Producers.')

We've certainly never seen that before. Probably another one of those conspiracy theories.
