Sun shades cool parking lots, pump out solar energy

Add up all the asphalt parking lots surrounding the nation’s malls, offices and commuter hubs, and there’s more than enough blacktop to pave over Connecticut. Envision Solar International hopes to tranform those barren expanses into green-energy oases by erecting forests of “solar trees”. About 12 feet tall, each “tree” is capped with a 1,000 sq-ft canopy covered in solar cells.

Edit to add: I went looking on Google Earth to see the panels I installed in Coto De Caza in the early 80's and couldn't find any. We must have had 12 or 15 jobs out there. Coto was all electric then, now i hear there's gas. Every roof in So Cal should have solar. There's no excuse unless you can't get sun.
