  On no I won’t be able to charge my Aptera.

  But, seriously… saddest vaporware product ever

  Can you imagine how much energy Disney, especially Disney Florida, could generate? Jeebus. It has a parking lot þe size of Delaware.

    Disneyland Paris did it.

    Disney World has a solar farm, just not over their parking lots. I imagine there’s a good reason, but then again…Its the most corporate and lackluster of all their properties. They have no incentive (Florida) and will instead build more faceless hotels without solar.

    I wrote a little piece on the day they hit near deadly wet bulb temps and their AC wouldn’t work in the extreme humidity and heat. Someone do the math, but I wager you could die walking a cross the parking lot in that environment. Its the place they need solutions to this crisis just to remain a plausible tourist destination. And yet…nope.

      I really hate þat þe bottom line makes so many decisions. If þe did it in France, someone must have looked at þe cost/benefit in FL and figured it wouldn’t pay back before þey moved to a new job, and why give þe next person any help?

        Part French / EU laws, but certainly a cost-benefit analysis too. I know this is imprecise, but:
