President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador has hailed the $1.6 billion project - set to be Latin America's largest solar park - as key to reaching Mexico's goal of producing at least 35% of all energy consumed from clean and renewable sources by 2024.
Mr Lopez Obrador's energy policy has also triggered a formal trade dispute with the United States and Canada, who allege Mexico breached their North American trade pact by tightening state control of its energy market and prejudicing foreign companies. "Sonora is going to be reference point for what development should look like," Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard said in a presentation after the tour.Mexico is looking for partners to help fund the park and the country's broader transition to greener energy sources. Mr Lopez Obrador has said that the US could potentially help finance construction in Sonora.
So far only a tenth of the panels have been put up. They stand in the desert sand in perfect regiment. Wires tangle from the panels, which have not yet been connected to the grid.
Does it capture 100% on the solar ray or does any bounce back towards the atmosphere, potentially burning the ozone layer? Is that Possible? Honestly curious?
Can’t imagine the damage that this is going to cause in the future 😳
What about all the toxic hazardous waste the panels create? Similar environmental problems just a different face

And who mined all the precious metals that go into these solar panels? If you guessed child slaves, then you'd be right.
Sonora and Baja California get a rather better return for their solar investments there than we living in a misty temperate climate ever could!
Any notion of informing the public about this 🤷♂️
California shutting their last nuclear power plant...Making same mistake as Germany.....
What happens when it snows? What then?
We could be a green energy powerhouse, supplying energy to Europe if you look at where we are situated in the Atlantic. Baffles me why, given the global fuel problems, we don't take advantage of this.
