re: The world's biggest deserts could be the best places for harvesting solar energy, right?

Not only do we need greener alternatives for environmental reasons, but there just isn't an endless supply of fossil fuels. While there are downsides to nuclear, it still seems the best alternative for now, and we could still put more effort and resources into working out its downside issues

And what about the damage done to the natural habitants of the area? Is there a guide that shows the value of one environmental issue vs another? Ie it's ok to kill 'X' amount birds by windmills in the name of environmental issue 'Y'.

So fossil fuels are to blame for Polar Bears losing their natural habitat, but it's ok for solar panels to destroy the natural habitat of the Camel.

Just trying to understand it all
