Oh yeah, for sure. I'm all for more solar. I just hope the scientists continue their research and figure out a way to make the panels without quite so much lead. Or at least make sure the lead can't leech back into the environment.

All I'm saying is it would make more sense to put them over agricultural land than in parking lots.

Solar panels are less efficient the hotter they get. Heat makes the electrons in the panel bounce around more at rest, which means they can't be excited as much from the sun's energy. Throwing them in a concrete desert with hot cars parked underneath would probably affect their performance significantly.

If that's true, the problem would be storing and transporting it. Sending electricity via wires is massively inefficient and limited in range.

This isn't even a conspiracy theory, it's been investigated and found to be mostly true.

In another timeline we would have had Robert Picardo as Neelix. That's the role he initially auditioned for!

Leela: Look, I know there are no car-chases, but this is important. One of these two men will become President of the World.

Fry: What do we care? We live in the United States.

Leela: The United States is part of the world.

Fry: Wow, I have been gone a long time.

If you're still using firefox, right click -> copy clean link. works most of the time.

edit: on desktop, idk if mobile supports it or not. Good suggestions below though for mobile.

IF you're going to do this, make sure use some sort of sealed package (like the box in the photo). You used to be able to slap these things on like a sheet of plywood and just send it as is but now if the package isn't sealed and is obvious misuse the post office can just throw it in the dumpster. If its a sealed package then the post office has to deliver it and the permit holder has to pay the charges. https://about.usps.com/postal-bulletin/2019/pb22525/html/updt_001.htm
