China currently building many large solar farms in Kubuqi desert, closest desert to Beijing

1 major solar installation in Kubuqi has 4.4 million solar panels Already 1GW has been connected to grid by 2023 Once fully connected, this can generate 4TWh/yr + reverse desertification Kubuqi desert has already been developing wetlands, but will see 70% of desert habitable again by 2030 27% of China's lands are arid if just 1% used for solar panels, it will provide as much capacity as China's current power capacity.
