Why next, they will be having careers and public dancing in the town square....unabashed! Do we need to remind you Elder Johnson is suffering from a heart condition and those ankle glimpses may have him taken from us?

I like your style!

The 450,000 SF carbonated beverage manufacturing facility where I work will have a combination of solar and fuel cells with potential to generate about 160% of our electric needs soon; construction starts next year. Thanks to the fuel cells, we’ll also be the first facility in the country to generate our own…

Nice. It makes sense to invest in it, I’m sure there’s a load of tax incentives to be had too.

Really? My former high school panelled its entire parking lot and I think it looks way better than the open asphalt-field that it was before. Maybe it’s preference, but I think it would just make things seem more cohesive and well-kept. In Australia many larger lots already have canvas-covers for sun protection. This…

I should have written 2028. The 2026 date is for lots with 400 or more spaces. The 2028 date is for lots with 80 or more. Neither date applies to lots with 79 or fewer spaces.

ah yes, the aesthetic brilliance of the parking lot will be affected no end! /s

Damn, that’s actually kind of a brilliant idea. Not only does it put that otherwise dead space to work for the common good, but—as you point out at the end—it also means summer temps in a giant parking lot won’t approach that of the surface of the goddamn sun. (It also means stuff like, maybe having some shelter from…

I love the idea of adding power generation functionality to parking lots. I also love that it has the side effect of adding shaded parking, but this just sounds like there will be a lot of parking lots in France with 79 parking spaces after July 1, 2026.

so now the woke mob is trying to cancel slavery smdh

I’d cover urban the freeways with them in chunks of a mile at a time.

Forward thinking. Might this also reduce the heat island effect? 

I would love these if they weren’t so terrifying.

This is a great idea.  I hope something similar is implemented eventually in Canada. 

And I have the answer!

I like it. Less sun needlessly baking asphalt.

I have hope for the runoff. Chase Oliver, the libertarian who took 2% of the vote, is a pretty sane candidate. His positions are mostly Democratic (save for economics and being pro-gun); he’s pro-decency to immigrants, pro-abortion rights, pro-LGBT rights (he’s gay himself). I can’t see people who voted for him…
