God I hate news article head lines

Haha, I was actually trying to refer to some kind of solar panel that would shade pedestrians when it’s hot and get outta tha way when it’s not. I had forgotten that a tree is solar powered 😂

Yeah, a lot to think about and forward plan. In Australia I think the social engineering required to detach people from cars would be the hardest part 😅

Some kind of “deciduous” solar panel in those pedstrian areas would be cool. Or something to that effect~

Absolutely all of this. And agreed. But I think part of the Solar Punk ethos is to pose these questions and speculate on dream implementations of current tech in ways that can offer nicer/more staisfying outcomes. Part of that would be taking a bit more time instead of racing towards the quickest goal post.
And some of the ideas will still stink, but hey haha, it’s fun.
