Oh, to be clear, I don’t think carport solar arrays are fossil fuel propaganda. They’re a useful application where they fit. It’s the idea that solar on fields is harmful that I object to, and I worry that carport solar is being presented without the full context as a red herring, so folks like us who want more solar start objecting to utility-scale ground mount.
Oh I'm certainly in the 'do both' crowd, but particularly in summer I just wish the parking lots I had to go to were shaded more... Also in the rain...
