A place known for aridity and being very unforgiving with regards to open water sources
Where all sorts of wild animals spawn
And sand enters everything
A question I have had even myself was why we don't load the place up with solar panels. So much free sunlight, unbothered, and uninterrupted.
Should be free energy, cools the entire region since the overall albedo lowers, allowing less heat to be ricocheting everywhere in the air. A small oasis could grow into a valley of green, and this dry land could become a lush, green rainforest. But, maybe this is a short-sighted win/win.
With one step back, we can see how interconnected our beautiful, lustrious world is with a bigger view
At first glance, the Amazon's beautiful, densely lush ecosystems seem a world apart
With so much water in the atmosphere that rain is everywhere
Plants require certain nutrients to survive and having water is the first thought of why the Amazon rainforest is so green.
Although this is true and water is a major factor, this abundance in water makes a problem. A problem unique to the amount of water there.
The flooding and monsoon rains in the Amazon seep into the soil or run above and channel a lot of the phosphorus every single season.
So, how exactly are the plants living with all of that water making such a disturbance?
Satellites have uncovered giant, brown dust clouds in the Sahara desert. These clouds fly up high and begin migrating after being blown perfectly towards the Amazon. And the sands then fall in the rain lands, containing mass amounts of phosphorus from an abundance of dead microorganisms in the Sahara, in perfect harmony and balance with the amount lost due to rains and water
The Amazon Rainforest remains intact and we find that the heartbeat of the Amazon Rainforest is actually the Sahara desert that's keeping it alive. Dreams of changing the Sahara to a rainforest could turn the Amazon to a desert.
This world is so beautifully interconnected.
That sky carries a lot of stories.

This won't happen because some rich dudes don't want to lose money. Alot of electricity companies are owned by the local governments. It's another way to control the masses
