Not to mention we can make dual use of existing land in the form of roof top solar.

The roof of every single new big box store should be covered in solar panels and we should start covering large parking lots in them too. Shaded parking that powers the area would be sweet.

Come to South Africa where the government is unable to provide reliable electricity to the country. Almost all new developments come with rooftop solar, and quite a few large parking lots in my hometown got covered with solar arrays for shade.
