Greening Our Rail Transportation System—At Least in Belgium

Some smart people in Belgium figured out that the top of an exposed-to-the-sky rail tunnel is the perfect place to put a massive solar array. This one installation generates 3300 megawatt-hours of electricity per year, enough to power almost 1,000 homes while eliminating 2,400 tons per year of  CO2 emissions.

Other people are being similarly creative with highways, such as this solar-powered highway in Oregon.

As I’ve said for years, we have the technology we need to solve our energy/carbon problems. All we need is the political will.
