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!
The posts supporting this are appalling, i guess it goes some way to explaining why we collapse civilisation, when nonsesense like this is supported.
This is like celebrating an Airport declaring itself "carbon neutral" because it slapped up a few solar panels.
We have a decade to reduce our emissions to near zero or face rhe very real threat of collapsing civilsiation and we expend our miniscule sliver of emissions building rubbish like that helps accelerate the destruction while the planet burns and floods around us?
No one should be driving at all, let alone to do things that are not life saving or necessary. Do people not read the endless News about CO2 emsisions ? We need a 10% reduction in emissions every year, thats way more then happens under Covid, every year for a decade at least.
I guess I can use this as a case study of a green washed monstrosity and why everything gets worse.
