Solar Power Has Huge Limitations!

Solar Power. It's a great concept! Especially here in Arizona, where the sun shines almost every day! However, it has huge limitations. First, the technology isn't advanced enough to really provide the power equivalent to it's panel size ratio. Therefore, it takes hundreds of acres for one solar farm. Second, the cost is horrendous! And lastly, Arizona's dusty winds and dust storms cover the panels constantly, reducing their efficiency even more! It would cost too much in time, labor and water (which we don't have much of to waste) to clean them constantly. And rain is scarce here! It's just not ready for prime time yet!

Huge Dust Magnets!
