"France passed a single law and instantly unlocked 11 gigawatts of #solarenergy — without using new land. In 2023, France's government mandated solar canopies over all car parks larger than 80 spaces. The scale was enormous: There are 400,000 parking areas across France #ActOnClimate #Renewables

This should also become policy in Scotland. Solar power works: so should car parks. And green spaces should be saved.

As Britain swelters through another heatwave, few people will have heard that ministers have quietly dropped plans for solar carports. Cars cooler in summer. Shelter from the rain in winter. Clean electricity all year round. A missed opportunity? @eastangliabylines.co.uk

@miattafahnbulleh.bsky.social why drop this? We need farmland to provide food security for the country in increasingly challenging times surely using car parks is a great solution for solar with so many benefits. #ClimateCrisis #Heatwave eastangliabylines.co.uk/environment/...

I can’t believe we’re still having a debate about whether there’s a trade off between job creation and measures to green the economy. There isn’t. The evidence was clear years ago - a green economy creates far more jobs than the fossil fuel economy it replaces. Come on Labour, catch up …
