1. That was 20 years ago. I wonder how it would pencil out now.

2. Yeah it was kind of dumb to put the panels into a high wear environment like a road.

3. What matters more is which projects pencil out the best. There are too many to choose from that have a positive ROI.

Sure. I'm unconvinced a railroad is the best place we need to be putting panels for anything other than PR value.

If PR value gets panels installed faster than they otherwise would be who cares. The most important thing is we install as much solar as possible as quickly as possible, because we're killing ourselves fighting wars for other energy sources that poison our entire planet to use.
