It's not like purchasing the Brooklyn Bridge or some swamp land in Florida...
A land developer in Arizona has some desert property for you? Don't laugh – it might work. It could be the next great opportunity in real estate, or the modern day version of swamp land in Florida. Vermaland, a land holding company in Phoenix, will hold an auction on June 6 to sell off 1,938 acres that it says could accommodate 388 megawatts of electricity, according to the company. That would be enough to power 100,000 homes, says Vermaland.
Although Vermaland is promoting its acres as real estate for PV panels, solar thermal is one of the hot topics in the state. The state sports around 13,000 square miles of relatively level (less than 1 percent slope), dry, sunny, empty, environmentally OK land that could accommodate thermal plants, according to Fred Morse of Fred Morse & Associates, one of the world's experts on the subject. If built out, those square miles could generate 1,742 gigawatts of power.

They definately dont add anthing thing to the landscape. Looks worse than a housing developement where they rip out all the trees.
Where can I find more information about this?
