This is far from an of course. There were idiots trying to do solar roads a few years ago. The math didn't pencil out.
- hx8 4mo ago1. That was 20 years ago. I wonder how it would pencil out now. 2. Yeah it was kind of dumb to put the panels into a high wear environment like a road. 3. What matters more is which projects pencil out the best. There are too many to choose from that have a positive ROI.

- hx8 4mo agoIf PR value gets panels installed faster than they otherwise would be who cares. The most important thing is we install as much solar as possible as quickly as possible, because we're killing ourselves fighting wars for other energy sources that poison our entire planet to use.
