Where we SHOULD be putting solar panels

Darcy Hitchcock

Too often, the default for large solar arrays is to place them on undeveloped land. Near Orlando, there’s a 22 acre array in the shape of Mickey Mouse’s head plopped in a field near Disney World, but Disney’s baking parking lot is uncovered.

According to DisneyFanatic.com, “More than 12,000 cars can park in the Magic Kingdom’s sprawling parking lot, which is larger than the theme park itself at 125 acres.” There would have been ample room to create arrays in the shape of Minnie and Goofy too. Call me Grumpy.

Placing arrays in the desert is also popular. In California, the proposed 530-megawatt Aratina Solar Project will wipe out over 4000 Joshua trees.

Where we should put them first is on large roofs and parking areas.

A typical Walmart supercenter, for instance, has a five-acre parking lot, and it’s a wasteland, especially if you have to sweat your way across…

Fully Vaccinated!

I am no longer this skinny, but

My Pa contracted #MRSA and ultimately died from it, way before he should have gone. I have friends and family who have had #COVID and “survived”, half of them still are coping with long term COVID affects. I wouldn’t wish MRSA on my worst enemy (not that I have any) let alone complete strangers and those I care about. So why would I do nothing to help others, if I can help prevent it, or even just lower the risks. It’s just common sense. SUPER JUSTICE WARRIOR!
