    This is a great idea!

    To get grant money.

    Otherwise it’s even more stupid than solar roadways.

    I mean except if you live on a planet where 99% of land is rails.

      Hey, ideas are great to explore, and we don’t know if there’s a place or community this would serve. Not every project has to be scalable! Diversity of uses is a good thing. There’s not a single solution for moving to renewable energy, creativity will be required.

        Yes, with the exception of this project.

        There is not one good idea about it (except if you are on the receiving end of the funding I guess), but lots of really bad ideas about it. Several are outright stupid and unfeasible.

        It’s great to explore if it didn’t cost anything. Since someone needs to spend money, they do need to use some judgement.

        Technically there’s no reason this can’t function, but practically this is highly sus. The only benefit would be to save a little land, but it’s hard to see any likelihood if it being worthwhile
