    Trump Says He Is ‘Not Joking’ About Covering Border Wall with Solar Panels

    President Trump told reporters in remarks released late Thursday that he is “not joking” about a plan to cover the planned wall on the southern border with solar panels — a plan floated by the president as part of a way to pay for the infrastructure project.

    “I think it’s innovative,” House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) told the Wall Street Journal.

    “There’s no place to grab. There are no holes. There’s no gap more than three millimeters,”

    Trump told reporters Thursday they were considering “some incredible designs,” what he called a “solar wall” was a very real possibility...

    • But they'd have to be south-facing, so how would that work out?

      *smash smash smash*
      detritus
    • heat and light sensors combined with motors to capture the best sunlight.
      ********
    • "the best sunlight" - lol. you are a wizard of vocabulary.dorf
    • Breitbart link. But does Trunk know how much panels cost to manufacture and install? Especially the motorised tracking kind? I guess not. More horseshit.face_melter
    • seriously? somebody thinks this is actually doable? :)renderedred
    • "heat and light sensors" - you actually have no fucking idea what you're talking about, do you?face_melter
    • point is to improve solar cell efficiency.
      ********
    • I'd like to see that. They can't cover the whole border because of its' cost but some parts could work.Beeswax
    • Don't know why this is being discussed. There will never being stupid fucking wall. That was a lie and it's retarded anyway.monospaced
    • It exists, and only will exist, in the hearts and minds of ignorant scared backward thinking fuckstards. It's like alt right fantasy land.monospaced
    • Even if you take this idea seriously, it would be very difficult and expensive to transport the energy generated from the border to energy markets.yuekit
    • let him build it so its a total fucking disaster and he looks even more stupid than he does already.fadein11
    • lol @ "let him build it," as if there was actually a plan or a budget to pay for such a bigoted fantasy.monospaced
    • It'll do more good than bad, compared to the current border that less than self sufficient. Not everyone in Mexico can afford solar powered shingles.
      ********
    • still on that delusional and demented fantasy, now with power being provided to mexico? fuckin moronmonospaced
    • why do you think its such a dumb idea?
      ********
    • @omg - because the wall was a made up idea to win votes and was never meant to actually happen and the basic economics of this silly eco version offadein11
    • racism could never actually work. the fact you think its a good idea shows how little you know about solar power. But keep dreaming you stupid dumb fuck.fadein11
    • * bing bong - it's fadein11 * solar power is racism - an eco version. lol
      ********
    • The wall isn't even expensive. Building 1/4 of the wall should break even within 4-5 years.
      ********
    • Don't see how its racist to stop drug dealers and human trafficking from crossing the border.
      ********
    • It would help if the Mexican cartel was more multi-cultural drug dealers, but you'd have to take it up with them.
      ********
    • From the point of view of the left, it's actually a great thing that you and the other Trump supporters are so out of touch with reality. Because it means noneyuekit
    • of this shit is ever going to happen. A year from now you will still be babbling about solar panels and the wall still won't be built.yuekit
    • I'm pretty sure we're all getting a big beautiful wall hopefully by Christmas.
      ********
    • haha - you won't be getting a solar powered wall and the fact you think you will be makes me feel a little sorry for you. I will give you a virtual hug when youfadein11
    • eat your words :)fadein11
    • once again ... there will never be a wall, there is no money for said wall, there isn't even a plan for a wall, and nobody will ever start this dumbshit ideamonospaced
