There are ways to make deserts, eh, more livable. Various kinds of mosses, correct usage of water for feeding plants (to reduce sandstorms), and solar farms there occupy territory both not in huge demand and use some of that excess energy.

That's not what's happening now, but the technologies have been tried successfully and work. I like shitting on Israel for their moral standing (the opposite to that, I mean), but their approaches to managing deserts do work, and they are not too wasteful with water.

Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
