A look at climate

There are only a few factors about climate that can discourage you from building in a location. One is precipitation. You should have at least five inches of total annual precipitation per year. If you do not then you should have a water table of less than sixty feet so you can pump with a solar well into you cisterns.

You can pump from deeper but it gets expensive.

You should also look at available sunlight per year. If you have very little, you will need back up electricity of some kind like wind power, hydro or conventional grid. Although the newer solar panels are starting to be close to 40% efficient on cloudy days.

Soon there will be power made from just the light through the clouds.

The beauty of the Earthship concept is that it makes all of its own utilities so you can find really cheap land where there is no hope for utilities. You can find hard to get to but extremely beautiful land that no one would ever think to build on, you can find this for a good price. The Earthship allows this. You can save a lot of money by chosing this type of land.
