Simple solution that benefits everyone.

Imagine if we did that everywhere, covered our train tracks with solar panels, the water canals, giant stores, factories and offices.

We could lower the dependency on fossil fuel a little and help our planet more.

But I'm sure politicians won't allow that to happen and most people are just too dumb to push for it.

The viral version is directionally correct but exaggerated: France did mandate solar canopies on large parking lots, with estimates of up to 11 gigawatts of future solar capacity. It did not "instantly unlock" 11 GW overnight. The law created a buildout requirement; the capacity arrives over years as projects are completed. Still a great idea that many nations could learn from. #SolarEnergy #EnergyPolicy
