Not the way they are built currently. Covering 50 acres of wild area, be
it desert or forest with a reflector array around a collector tower is a
big environmental impact. Build the same facility in an urban area on
the roof of a really big mall and you've solved the environmental
problem. The generator and control facilities can be underground under
the parking lot. Indeed many of the reflectors can be over the parking
lot as well providing nice shading for the cars.
Have you ever driven through Nevada?
50 acres of solar collection wouldn't
make the slightest dent.
