Sun-Ways Is Testing Out Train Track Solar Farms
A pilot program placing solar panels between the rails has proven successful enough that the idea is spreading to Italy, France and Korea.

ngl, I read a research report of mine from a few years ago, my #train study, and I feel like a treasure hunter.
It’s a mix of digital methods including code work (1 M tweets!), creative quali methods (podcast ethnography meets og interviews), and the prose has been smoothened by a proof write. 🫂

Obsoleszenz statt Transformation im Schienenverkehr
Climate change and environmental issues call for an ecological transformation of production and consumption. In Germany, the transport sector is considered the "troubled child" of the transformation, because emissions in the mobility sector have not fallen in recent decades, in contrast to other sectors. But there are signs of change – the car industry has been criticised since the "diesel scandal" and, alongside electric mobility, e-fuels and cycling, the rail industry is seen as a beacon of…
