Solar energy facilities can spread across thousands of acres, and if not put in the right places, can destroy pristine natural lands, inhibit the ability of those lands to store carbon, and disrupt habitat for imperiled wildlife such as the desert tortoise, bighorn sheep and giant kangaroo rat. Fortunately, as compared to conventional energy sources, solar has the potential to harness large amounts of energy and reduce impacts on land, water, human health, and climate, through better sitting in places such as rooftops, parking lots, and lands with fewer natural resources."
