Answer:
Covering an entire desert with solar panels is making a major modification to nature and can have strange consequences. Scientists believe that covering the Sahara with solar panels could increase vegetation in the area by up to 20% and even cause unexpected amounts of rainfall. Seems completely opposite to what you would expect, doesn’t it?
