A solar energy company will soon begin clearing thousands of protected Joshua trees in the Mojave Desert, including many thought to be a century old.

It’s crazy to me that a destructive photovoltaic solar project like this one is considered reasonable, but a new nuclear power plant within or adjacent to a city is beyond the pale.

    I’ve never seen it. In my area, they’re all roof or ground mount, not suspended above parking lots.

      Take a look at solarenergymaps.com Definitely not comprehensive though, I know of a couple in my area that are missing.

      And even in places where it is happening, it is still extremely rare for a parking lot to have solar panels. Legislation is needed.
