Trump said his vision was a wall 40 feet to 50 feet high and covered with solar panels so theyd be beautiful structures, the people said. The President said that most walls you hear about are 14 feet or 15 feet tall but this would be nothing like those walls. Trump told the lawmakers they could talk about the solar-paneled wall as long as they said it was his idea. One person cautioned that the President wasnt presenting the solar-paneled wall as the definite solution.
And everyone said he wasn't a "green" president and was only concerned about pushing coal/fossil fuels. Forty to fifty feet high and covered with solar panels, sounds good to me.
