    Start putting solar canopies over all these goddamn mostly empty parking lots we have everywhere. Completely wasted space otherwise and it’d provide some cover from the rain for people coming and going from their cars.

      Plus you’d lower the temperature of the vehicles, reducing air conditioning and decreasing fuel/battery use, which would further decrease emissions

        No one ever brings this up, but the heat island effect might be diminished? Not sure how the math works out there.

      Or abandon the min parking reqs so developers can build something else there. But also solar panels where we actually need parking space

        Yeah, build something other than a parking lot, and put a solar panel on top of that! 🧠
