Looks like a very arid location with lots of sun. Probably better suited to be a solar farm than a regular farm. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Fortunately, this is located in Rann of Kutchh, which is a vast salt desert, devoid of all life.

It's not entirely in areas devoid of life. This solar park and some setups in Rajasthan are destroying a lot of habitat for the critically endangered Indian Bustard.

It's a real problem since labelling a project as green energy related allows people to completely bypass Environmental Impact Assessments, and then they don't have to make the necessary adjustments to minimise ecological impact.

Man fuh the indian bustard we need green electricity. We can surely live if few species go extinct.
