> The so-called Lot 59 project has seen a five-acre parking lot at the #ArizonaStateUniversity's #SunDevils gridiron stadium covered with giant #solarPanels, which can produce 2.2 megawatts of electricity annually - enough to power 550 homes.
In #Japan where mountains and fileds are wasted under #MegaSolar projects to enrich corporations, #ParkingLots over a certain size should be required to install solar, and store run-off for toilets or car-washing...

After a visualization of Cement Production and Area to compare two countries, it will be interesting to do one for Cement Production per-capita, and then Impervious Area as per km squared too. I heard of a book #AsphaltNation but never had a look at it.

I wonder if #Japan has gotten any closer to the #USA in the last decades with the increase in Suburban Box Stores, and huge #pachinko parking lots.. Howwould wasteful #MegaSolar fit in?
