And if we did a "jobs program" to build solar for EVERY THING....

You could put solar on the highways. Run out of charge? Pull over to a roadside charging station and recharge. It could be like they run air compressors, pay up front for X amount and then go. Or like the little electric scooters, bring up the app, pay for the charge and go.

Put them in parking lots. Plug and charge spots could be the new thing.

Anything that needs power could be built with it's own "off grid source" - might still be plugged into the grid, but maybe use up the extra solar to offset costs or during peak energy hours.

Lots of possibilities.

Capitalistic and altruistic options.

HOW ABOUT THAT TYPE OF HYBRID? Make money AND help the planet, your country, your neighbor?
