And their vote counts more than yours because they live in rural districts with lower populations. Smh at "democracy."

They're placed on ground that's usually not being used or isn't being utilized in a better way. Ground solar is much cheaper than any other method and can be put together by almost any idiot.
I like the idea of building them over parking lots, too, though. Parking lots are big contributors to the urban heat island effect as those large black slabs absorb a lot of light and heat. So it would provide a bit of shade and help cool down the general area.
There is the risk of someone hitting a pole but you could just place them like we do with the street lamps - use a concrete base that goes up a few feet from the ground.
