The country’s largest area designated for solar energy, Desert Center shows how sprawls of PV panels impact communities.

Was reading an article about creation of a large public beach. It only sat 2ft above sea level and often washed over in high tide. The developers bulldozed sand from the sea side to bring it up to 12ft. But they had big troubles with wind blowing the sand inland. It almost scuttled the whole project.
So they planted hardy native grass that grew roots toward the water. It mitigated the dust problem.
Wonder if a similar thing can be done with native desert vegetation to solve this problem.

solar panels in a desert seems relative low impact infrastructure

But have you considered how much worse the poor NIMBY’s views out their windows will be, why you might even see something more interesting than desert, the horror./s
