Sacrifice of the Joshua Trees for poorly understood and probably unattainable climate goals will make for interesting environmental history and lessons in what-not-to-do. Plus, placing industrial-scale solar farms in the fragile desert environment destroys far more than Joshua Trees. If you want to see the damage done so far, take a drive through the desert portions of California Highways 14 & 58 and Interstates 10 & 15.

It's interesting how the righteous will bend their views to serve their views ... the collection of quotes from the Joshua tree killers in the name of saving the planet shines a light on their little corruption. I'm going to call this, "the Elsa Schneider Fallacy" -- where one claims to love something, then misses the entire bigger picture of that thing and their own moral standing, as they make the entirely wrong decision based on greed and only briefly have to face the consequences of their broken thought process. (Elsa Schneider ... ala Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade)
