Those progressive folks in Oregon have announced a $1.3 million project that will add 8,000 square feet of solar panels to a major highway ??? the I-5 and I-205 interchange, for locals ??? that will generate 112,000 kilowatt hours of energy a year.
The output isn???t as massive as some solar farms planned in California, but considering it utilizes land that is already ???wasted??? space, it shows that you don???t need a massive abandon to set
Of course, 112,000 kilowatt hours isn???t much compared to the 45 million that Oregon uses on its transportation system alone every year ??? traffic signals, buildings, ramp-metering, etc. ??? but it???s a start.
