Sorry, no.   200 square miles of desert converted photovoltaically
might power Atlanta.  That's about all.

Surely you're not suggesting that the desert ecology is something we
can dismiss out-of-hand, are you?  That sounds -- wait for it --
almost politically incorrect.    (And besides, 200 square miles would
affect a lot more than 1,000 lizards; all kidding aside, deserts DO
support a surprisingly large ecology.)
