If your city is 25% parking lots, you have a much deeper problem that solar panels won't solve
I think it's called North America.
Yeah, that's the name of the problem.
The USA has corn fields specifically grown to be turned into FUEL. These crops are a waste. These fields can be used for solar instead.
i mean yes. but this isn’t about those problems specifically. but the average american city is apparently 22% parking lot upon a quick look.
if we are going to have nearly a quarter of a city as dead land, might as well as put up solar panels and lessen our dependency on destructive forms of power generation.
