Does anyone have articles about the differences between centralized solar like this and decentralized solar? I'm all for renewables but this is a lot of desert ecosystems that will be destroyed for this project.

Love getting down voted for being against the destruction of fragile ecosystems

Good point. I'd like to hear more on this. Seems to me like the strongest electrical infrastructure would be a federated system as opposed to fully centralized. We also wouldn't lose acres of otherwise untouched land that way.
