It's a waste of land and resources. The infrastructure to carry this power to an existing grid will be enormous and the cost astronomical. Solar energy's best use is on individual buildings, to "help" reduce power consumption. The technology is here yet to replace existing power. If every large building had rooftop solar panels it would be an tremendous reduction in power consumption. If homes have solar panels feeding energy back into the utilities it would reduce energy consumption even more. The focus on solar energy should be toward reducing energy consumption rather than creating a new infrastructure to deliver it. I'm sure both can co-exist, and it's clean, but emphasis should be made at the individual level rather than the corporate enterprise level.
