Gregory's Server@femme_mal @Infoseepage @mackayim2022 I've been saying that parking lots should have solar panels for ages! I'm glad people are starting to do it now!

 @samhainnight @Infoseepage @mackayim2022 IMO I think resistance to parking lots as solar carports is based in financing and monetization. At MSU the electricity generated powers the school. But what if it's state/local government? Will fossil fuel sponsors interfere with placement on government property by capturing legislators and regulators with campaign contributions? I suspect this has already been happening. We need to organize to get around it. @femme_mal @samhainnight @Infoseepage @mackayim2022 throwing up solar panels over parking gives the bonus benefits of blocking sunlight from cars heating them up too much, and provides cover from the rain. It's win win.  @Bradcopter Also extra costs of working in existing carpark - traffic control, cutting concrete for trenches etc But you have benifits above the direct cost of electricity. Shade/ rain protection for customers. |
@samhainnight @femme_mal @Infoseepage @mackayim2022 Audubon Society is beginning to do solar installations over their parking lots.
