Unfortunately the inhabitants of the Mojave turned down a major solar power project last year because of ecological disruption", aka "this wouldn't be pretty on our nature hikes."

Perhaps we can use the Salton Sea? It is at least acknowledged as a truly destroyed ecosystem.

I am sort of a nimby, but there's nowhere wild to protect anymore. Thanks Starlink!

I am less and less sympathetic to groups standing in the way of clean energy production because of any aesthetics issue.

However, I don't live there so I won't judge, though a wind farm got knocked back near where I live because it'd look like a windfarm and it was the greenies who knocked it back.
