USA Presidential Primaries 2016 - its all here.

[Shan]

I see Trump now wants his wall to be built with solar panels. Genius.

"The southern border. Lots of sun, lots of heat. We are thinking about building a wall as a solar wall. So it creates energy. And pays for itself."

"And this way, Mexico will have to pay much less money. And that's good. Right?" said the president, whose initial pledge to make Mexico pay for the wall has met with stiff resistance from America's southern neighbour.

"Think of it, the higher it goes, the more valuable it is," he said.

"Pretty good imagination, right? My idea!"

This is a very good idea

It's automatically a bad idea when it emanates from the corrupt mind of the Toddler In Chief.

No. It's not
Just because you dont agree with someones values doesnt mean they cannot be right

The panels:

1) would have to be on the south side of the wall and would therefore be inaccessible to anyone on the US side of the border for maintenance purposes
2) would increase the cost of the wall significantly
3) would be vulnerable to theft/damage (see 1 above)
4) could be made completely worthless by someone obscuring the sun from the Mexican side

1. Build a door and set the wall back an agreed distance from the border to allow maintenance
2. A great investment opportunity for energy companies looking to divest from oil
3. Weigh up the cost of this criminality versus the cost of prevention and detection from illegal migration
4. Mr Burns in The Simpsons tried this.

Trump is the exception to that rule.

Why don't they just put solar panels on the ground, anywhere else in the US? Why on the wall? The only reason is so Trump can say it has a positive element to it.

A much more sensible and manageable solution!

Could quite easily just build a giant field of panels on the border

Acts like a barrier (wall)

I really support this idea and it allows the US to work towards action on climate change

I think they could try harder. Oil companies are probably lobbying against this as we speak.

The concept of the wall is monumentally stupid and only designed to appeal to idiot America.

I was travelling through California last summer and they are going for solar power in a big way.

So is coal, but that doesn't stop Trump using it as a vote winner. He just says what he thinks will work irrespective of whether it stands up or not.
