Viking_HippieAn unusually wide adoption of rooftop solar in Aleppo, Syria.
The United States is SOOOOO far behind.
slippyferretAmerican cities should have looked like this 20+ years ago.
Real people wouldn’t even notice from the streets, but rich fucks would see them from their jets and oppose it.
catbumIt doesn’t work that way. Unfortunately, the demand has to exist first in order to get the transit approved; otherwise the car-brains call it “useless” and win. You have to force through the density and make it painful to drive before there’s a critical mass of support for it.
wonderingwandererOr… hear me out… and this can only occur in a society capable of critical thinking, so it would never happen in america, but…
How about a phased-implementation in which transit and apartments are built concurrently, according to a plan aiming towards the final result.
If you build the transit first, it needs a giant parking lot. If you build the apartments first, they need giant parking lots. If you build them simultaneously and plan them to finish around the same time, you don’t need parking lots.
TheMadCodgerMore than that. Carter put solar panels on the White House. Regan took them down. 40+ years of making America worse so the dragons could grow their hordes.
We just need to have a devastating civil war that destroys most of our existing energy infrastructure and we can get their too 😊
There’s looking at the bright side!

potoooooooo ✅️Have I got some good news, then!
MrKoyunLol this is not a case of Syria being just very environmentally concious and deciding to get far ahead in the solar game. Its a case of not having reliable electricity infrastructure so solar is the only and neccesary option.
Is this ideal? No. Is it good that a lot of people are successfully relying on solar energy? Yes, and developed countries need to catch up.
