Six Flags Magic Mountain in California is building a massive canopy of solar panels over its 30-acre parking lot that will power all of the rides and offset 100% of the amusement park’s energy usage while providing shade to the cars parked beneath.

When completed, it will be California’s largest solar energy project & the world’s largest renewable energy site built by a for-profit organization.

Way to go, Six Flags!

@erinwhalen really good idea, but the amount of cars should also be reduced
@mo - yes, for sure. I'd much prefer parks to parking lots, but if we have to have them, may as well make them do double duty. ✌️
@erinwhalen definitely. They are already there. So give them a new meaning
