> If technology is so advanced and if solar panels are getting cheaper, why aren't we building new cities in the desert?

Why would we build cities in the desert? It's a lot easier to generate power in the desert and transport it to other places, than it is to supply cities in the desert with water, and increased energy costs due to having to run A/Cs 24-7-365.

If it's a question of land, there's plenty of land in places with water and better climate.



Yup that's a better idea.
