[QUOTE="doctorbadwolf, post: 8864764, member: 6704184"] There are vastly more small buildings than large in a city, even if we ignore the wild pedantry of pretending that suburbs aren't [I]part of cities[/I]. Also, many of those large buildings are vastly more wide than tall, and a huge amount of the rest are commercial buildings with significant parking lots. In my own city, new commercial buildings have to have a minimum amount of parking spaces based on the size and capacity of the storefront. And of course, ya know, all the roads. Sure, some towns line most of their streets with trees, but there are miles upon miles of exposed asphalt in the majority of cities. Absolutely no serious adult person in this year of the common era two thousand and twenty two is bringing up solar paving in a serious discussion about power infrastructure, Umbran. :( Every serious solution to the problems with power production is expensive. This is myopic, and I will not engage with that sort of mindset. "Things don't work because people suck" is not a valid position in a discussion. Ever. By this logic, we should never have built large scale electrical infrastructure, highways, or railroads. The shade to asphalt outweighs it, from all I've read. Again, we're talking about canopies with panels on them over parking lots (which get extremely hot) and panels on top of...already black roofing. Oh, solar farms in deserts and other flat land create more ambient heat than exposed earth? Shocking! [/QUOTE]
