    We should be shading every parking lot with solar panels. Why the hell we aren’t, I don’t understand.

      Basically it’s cheaper to install panels on rooftops due to less supporting structure needing to be built.

        Okay but people also want weather protected parking, let’s do both if we can’t get proper public transportation instead!

          You might want that, and it would be great, but have you stopped for one second to THINK OF THE SHAREHOLDERS???!?!?? Spending money to make YOU happy? Pffffft, over their dead bodies.

      That wouldn’t make the coal companies happy and they pay senators to make sure they stay happy. Or, they bail out a president after he bankrupts a casino during the casino boom and then gets appointed to secretary of commerce.

      Because we don’t have power grids that would work well with overproduction.
