Solar project to destroy thousands of Joshua trees in the Mojave Desert
https://ca.news.yahoo.com/solar-project-destroy-thousands-joshua-100000768.htmlIt’s crazy to me that a destructive photovoltaic solar project like this one is considered reasonable, but a new nuclear power plant within or adjacent to a city is beyond the pale.
I’ve never seen it. In my area, they’re all roof or ground mount, not suspended above parking lots.
Take a look at solarenergymaps.com Definitely not comprehensive though, I know of a couple in my area that are missing.
And even in places where it is happening, it is still extremely rare for a parking lot to have solar panels. Legislation is needed.
