Comment on Six Flags has installed one of the largest solar carports in the US - 12.37-megawatt - the annual power use of both the amusement park and neighboring Hurricane Harbor Los Angeles

  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:

      and the Magic Kingdom Parking Area.
