An usually wide adoption of rooftop solar in Aleppo, Syria.
I’ll do you one better - why is Aleppo?
Ah, Gary Johnson. I had such high hopes for him in 2016…
It was my first presidential election as an eligible voter, and this was before the alt-right co-opted libertarianism. All I knew was that I hated trump, and I was being bombarded with anti-Clinton propaganda so I didn’t like her either (but not for the right reasons, like how she’s a neoliberal capitalist).
I didn’t know enough about Bernie at the time. I didn’t know enough about leftism or the world in general to consider myself a progressive yet. I hadn’t even entered the cocoon in which I later metamorphosed into a full-blown socialist throughout my mid-twenties.
Gary Johnson… my first vote in a presidential election… sigh…
Those were… simpler times…
We must be close in age as he was my first vote for President as well.
Man think of all the shit you could have running 24/7 off that and a bunch of car batteries
But where is the powerplant so the USA military can bomb it to attack civilian infrastructure?
You don’t understand. Now they can bomb both in a single hit
So much saving for US taxpayers
The United States is SOOOOO far behind.
American cities should have looked like this 20+ years ago.
We can’t even manage to do the apartment buildings, let alone the solar panels.
Build the mass transit first, then the apartments make sense.
More than that. Carter put solar panels on the White House. Regan took them down. 40+ years of making America worse so the dragons could grow their hordes.
Real people wouldn’t even notice from the streets, but rich fucks would see them from their jets and oppose it.
I wonder if their government is subsidizing them in some way. But also looking at it most of them are on apartment buildings so it may just be that every tennant in the building chips in to a common fund to get them installed so they get lower electricity costs. Pretty smart investment since those panels last for decades and the cost will be covered way before they reach end of life.
I’m sure electric service has been patchy at best given the war ravaged state of things there.
ISIS subsidizing solar energy. What a timeline
They aren’t being governed by ISIS.
Correct, it’s the other big islamist group, al-Qaeda.
Also wrong.
Either you are misinformed, an idiot or just racist.

If the whole world did this, all the energy corporations would be ruined.
What are we waiting for?
That bastard Godot, probably
What does a free and open source game engine have to do with this?
That makes me so incredibly happy.
