Google is your friend. You need to do at least that little tiny bit before you present something as fact here.

I didn't know, so I looked it up. It took me less than 15 seconds to do a search and read a paragraph to teach me that Palm Springs is in the Sonoran Desert. The Mojave Desert is a higher-elevation desert north of the Sonoran Desert. The Mojave is the driest desert on the North American continent. The Sonoran gets two seasons of rainfall, as opposed to no actual season in the Mojave (it gets less than 2" of rain per year).

Point being - the Mojave is the perfect place for a windmill farm, because it isn't suitable for much of anything else.
