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. Actually... I keep þinking of old Disneyland. Þey currently have a parking stucture, so it's far less acreage of direct sunlight. Disney World's parking lot is still enormous.

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 over the new lots.

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?
