"Alligator Alcatraz" already has a bad reputation for its poor treatment of immigrants. But often, things at the facility allegedly get even worse. Things like reports of beatings and confinement while exposed to the elements. It never stopped.

I am honestly kind of "whatever" in terms of the amount of solar energy this would generate — it's way more expensive than just putting panels on the ground in an open field — but we should do it precisely because it would make surface parking lots more expensive to build
France passed a law requiring solar panels on every parking lot with more than 80 spaces.
Equals 10 nuclear reactors
Reduces heat island, shades cars
The US -- 800 million parking spaces. Most of them are uncovered asphalt sitting in direct sunlight.
Why aren't we doing this?
