@cmconseils You gotta have LOTS of spare land to waste to have car parks that look like that. Obvs multistorey car parks have less space for solar panels.

@TimWardCam @cmconseils these are common in the US suburbs. We call them strip malls.

As for the OP: It's wild to me that we aren't requiring solar for all new construction in 2026.

@HunterZ @cmconseils Yes, we haven't had land to waste like that in Europe for a thousand years or so.

@TimWardCam @cmconseils I think a lot of the car discourse on here fails to account for this difference.

@HunterZ @cmconseils I worked in the smart street lighting business for a while and was mildly astonished to find that 50% of the "street lights" in the USA aren't in streets at all but in car parks.

@TimWardCam @cmconseils sadly this doesn't surprise me, especially since roads are no exception to our public services funding allergy.
