But other groups say there could be adverse environmental consequences and further study and regulation are needed.

1. Barbara Salzman says that "If it rains and the rain runs off the solar panels, the rain might create channels.". But i think when they are going construct such a ambitious solar panel they ill take god care of maintenance and the project really sounds good to me.
