I have long thought that solar panels on road, rail, power line and gas right of way easements makes sense. And grazing of livestock under solar panels should also work. It seems obvious, doesn't it?  Gas and electric power companies generate and distribute power.  They own substantial right of ways.  Incorporating solar panels in the right of way should work well.

Eight-year-old daughter, Virginia Bocelli. On the empty stage of Teatro Regio di Parma, father and daughter sprinkle some Bocelli magic on Leonard Cohen's timeless ' Hallelujah'; Andrea on guitar and vocals, and Virginia on vocals and harmony.

At age 12, Bocelli lost his sight completely following an accident during a football game. He was hit in the eye playing goalkeeper during a match and suffered a brain hemorrhage. Doctors resorted to leeches in a last-ditch effort to save his sight, but they were unsuccessful and he remained blind.
