They have also tried tapping wave energy and have managed to totaly wrek several marine environments by altering the averaqe tidal forces in the area...the only true solution is to do away with mankind...we are evil greedy..messy ....hmmmm Hey I like people....so the planet is stuck with us untill we kill ourselves off or a friendly asteroid does it for us

They seem to be working in south eastern Australia ok. Regardless huge solar panels out in the desrt regions are harldy going to cause the damage a nuclear plants problem does (read Chernobyl).
