@Valmond @supersquirrel Ah, the reflection thing. There was concern about that in the vicinity of #Cambridge airport.

But the really naïve response would be “surely the panels are designed to absorb sunlight, not reflect it?”

@pageflight There’s always something like that that you don’t see unless you’re somewhere in the business.

The usual problem is that they’re different budgets held by different public bodies, so that the council (or whatever) having to put in the investment isn’t the one making the gains, and getting the one to cross-subsidise the other is often simply too much bureaucratic and political hassle. Like the savings you get in the criminal justice system from putting in CCTV (perps are more likely to plead guilty after seeing themselves on screen, which saves *lots* of money in the court system).

@MicroWave Another MAGA win! More lives fucked up! Exactly what they voted for!

Don’t say we didn’t warn you. Seen it all before. Ever heard of #brexshit?
