Sure. This was in response to this: Every square meter of Earth is part of some ecosystem that is under stress due to human activity.

This is untrue. This solar farm will take up 120 sq km (out of the 10,000 sq km cattle property), and is unlikely to cause any environmental issues from the panels themselves, since they'll just shade some areas of sand.
