Seemed far fest but would be an excellent idea! Reuse all landfills for energy production. After all the land is cheap!

They're already doing that with landfills that are capped in central MA. I do like the covered parking lot idea though in snow areas there would have to be methods of handling snow sliding off. How do they clear snow off these large arrays in snow country?
As for home applications, Tesla is getting ready to produce a variety of solar shingles for roof replacements or original installs. They look very nice.
