To illustrate just how much of a challenge this is, we need to cross the pond to LA. And perhaps the pinacle of poor bus shade design.
La Sombrita. The design of this is so notoriously bad that I, a geek who's never set foot in the US has heard how bad it is.

Voting is Your POWERBatteries are so cheap, solar doesn’t sleep.
Thanks to plummeting prices, analysts say that solar plus batteries can now provide round-the-clock power in the sunniest parts of the world, undercutting fossil gas and reshaping grid planning.
Cities like Muscat, Oman, and Las Vegas can already hit that steady power mark for up to 99% of the hours in a year, while Hyderabad, Madrid, and Buenos Aires can get 80-95% of the way there using the same setup. #solar #battery #renewables #energy #climate #ClimateChange #climateemergency #environment

Batteries are now cheap enough to unleash solar energy’s full potential, getting as close as 97% of the way to delivering constant electricity supply 24 hours across 365 days cost-effectively in the sunniest places.

Randahl FinkAfter much turmoil, the NATO alliance spent an entire day rubbing Trump’s ego, literally calling him “Daddy”, and praising his war with Iran, and now it looks like Ukraine may get the US made Patriot air defence missiles after all.
It is like watching parents convince toddlers to eat their meal by pretending it is a train going into their mouthes. Choo-choo! 🚂
When they write the history books, future generations will struggle to believe the time we live in.
