[…] If you extrapolate from the Nature Conservancy’s theme, any suitable rooftop can be thought of as a kind of brownfield, as in a potential renewable energy site that has few if any other uses and is inhospitable to endangered species. For that matter, companies with expansive parking lots have a lot of acreage at hand that is extremely inhospitable to wildlife. Parking lots go unused for large chunks of time, so installing solar is also one way to draw more use-value out of your real estate. Pocono Raceway in Pennsylvania is just one example of a business that has put its large parking lot to work as a massive solar installation, and the U.S. military has also been installing solar parking lots.

Great! Next, need to conserve and respect the power we do have! Hidden from the general public, perhaps due to lack of interest, are newer developments in insulation and its science and technologies – even photos of small pieces of super insulation blocking torch flames from fingers are shown, but still, we need more information! Solar, plus super insulation together, negate the need for fusion and its waste products, and is in the sane direction for a clean America! The Einstein fridge needs developing too! Save even more precious energy this way! LED lights are already replacing incandescents giving huge energy savings for the same service! We will win the energy battle, one small technology at a time – scrap your V-8 , go to a four, consider the 40 % more efficient Euro-diesels or hybrid, walk, bus, and train when you can, and keep foreign oil fortunes low, America rich! We need to “alter” a few habits, but the oil barons still hang on, with huge lobbies, that kill good ideas like Algae based bio-diesel! The war for energy is being fought on home ground by the peons and we will win!Our sons and daughters, dying in foreign land for the “Halliburtons” of the world, is a short term folly! Afghanistan, as a pipe conduit for Turkmenistan oil invites war with China who, in the end, claim it for themselves! How stupid! After losing the oil in Iraq to the free world market, we are going to “Liberate” half a goddamn continent of worthless desert to put one small pipe into one of China’s prize possessions, the oil basin starting in Turkmenistan and extending into China! Not Smart at all!

The article explains the purpose and eventual cost savings of the solar arrays but does not mention the total construction or annual maintenance costs for them or how many years it will take before the estimated cost savings are seen.

Do we know the answers to these questions?

Thank you

Fantastic: Please give us details as to supplier and payback time on investments. I see doing this type of solar power on all large buildings, and expecially

large vacant buildings.

I was in New Jersey looking to supply funding for

renovating the large shipbuilding buildings left vacant in the last 40 years. What a wonderful use

of vacant roof tops.
