• Requiem in Power

    Graveyards a favorite haunt for solar farms in Valencia

    In a move likely to leave both the living and the dearly departed
    feeling a bit sunnier, the Spanish city of Valencia is turning its
    cemeteries into bustling hubs of renewable energy.

    Aptly dubbed RIP (Requiem in Power), the initiative is set to
    transform graveyards into solar powerhouses, generating clean energy
    while giving a whole new meaning to resting in peace.

    Valencia, famed for paella and now potentially its eco-conscious
    ghosts, has already installed the first batch of photovoltaic panels
    in three cemeteries. By the time the project is completed, 6,658 solar
    panels will be gently basking in the Spanish sun.

    According to Euronews, that hardware ought to be enough to power
    municipal buildings and provide a quarter of the energy to 1,000
    vulnerable households.

    This is a great name, love it.

    Solar panels make great roofs - good for grazing sheep in arid climes
    too.
