    How many acres of parking lots does the federal government own that could accomplish this without disturbing the environment?

      Good point. I was gonna say, acres upon acres of solar farms would be equivalent to paving the land they’re on. And unlike the African Sahara, we don’t have much in the way of actual wasteland with zero life around here.

      Someone further down the comment chain suggested parking lots. Rooftops would be a better move too - just need a tax incentive and we’re off to the races.
