I want this + solar panels in all airport and sports stadia parking lots
I'm sure @dustinmulvaney.bsky.social is all over this, but just in case. @mariagallucci.bsky.social tells us "putting panels over 8K miles of federally owned canals and aqueducts could generate over 25 GW of renewable energy — enough to power nearly 20M homes" 🔌💡

California's first solar-covered canal is now fully online
The 1.6-MW pilot system is among a growing number of initiatives to put solar over waterways. The approach could generate gigawatts of power nationwide.

The United States is home to dozens of active mines. Some extract copper, while others dig for iron.
Whatever the resource, however, it usually makes up a small fraction of the rock pulled from the ground. The rest is typically ignored. Wasted.

There’s enough lithium in a year's worth of waste to produce 10 million EV batteries.
