the technology could be adapted to back project movies etc. then the car park can become a good old fashioned drive in cinema.

This project is good

That’s pretty infuriating. Forgetting for a moment that batteries for storing PV power is incrediably wasteful (get that thing feeding the grid, damn it)… how is it sustainable to produce sooo much more vanity, spectacle lighting than they need? How much energy went into manufacturing that wall and how much on up keep.
The BS blatant abuse of the term “sustainable” makes me puke in my mouth a little.
