Are you willing to pay billions?

Agreed

Serious question here: protection and control and voltage transformers?

not from Maine but why do you hate Belfast

or we could build one nuclear power plant and get 10x the power

Exactly. I think the P71 also has a different engine tuning, better suspension, dual exhaust, better rear gear differential, different and torquier torque converter.

I like how wiscasset smells?

But i don't have a favorite town.

I’m all for it.

Rockland used to be, because...you know...hometown and all.

But it's been taken over almost entirely by private art galleries over the course of the last decade or so.

I think the nail in the coffin for me was changing the Navigator Inn to the much more boring and forgettable Rockland Harbor Hotel. Let's just keep ripping more of the character out and replacing it with art galleries, I guess.

Most of it isn't even good art to begin with. It's all Wyeth imitations.

Yeah so I've heard

Agreed, the P71 is for someone who wants a simple, durable, reliable car that’s relatively cheap to fix, and has decent performance.

The Town Car is for someone who wants a La-Z-Boy on wheels and who doesn’t care about handling

Downside of both? The fuel mileage of a big V8

It's a LIVE WIYAH!!!!!

Don't touch!

I think that is is attitude a lot of people have. Unfortunately

There'll be plenty of people around that day, I assure you.

I suggested this the other day and someone said it was the dumbest idea they ever heard. People's brains are bad

We had all of three storms that dumped enough snow to cause concern this year, and two of those melted off the next day.

I think the 'snow' excuse has had it's day in Maine. We're slowly warming up, and it's thanks to whiny excuses like these that do nothing to help the situation and everything to stall doing something actually helpful.

Damariscotta is the sweetest! And pumpkinfest is so fun!

This doesn't make sense either. There's a reason those medians exist. Safety. They have wide medians, cable barriers, jersey barriers, etc designed to protect cars from crossing over. Imagine a small family sedan crossing into the median now, they get beheaded by solar panels as they crash through them. Or if they are raised up, now you've got a forest of metal poles to smash in and through.

And that's not including the need to clean them from salt, dust, brake dust, exhaust fume collections, etc. It's a maintenance nightmare alone.

We don't need long ass narrow panels like this. We just need a few acres scattered about with correctly oriented solar panels and you'll get as much if not far more yield than this bullshit idea. And you don't have any of those previous problems. This very much is "Solar freaking roadwards" shit

This is a batshit stupid idea completely devoid of an ounce of logical thought. The no man's land between highways is dangerous to access, varies immensely in quality, is FREQUENTLY visited by vehicles at high speed during accidents, and would be massively inefficient to run power through. That's to say nothing about the impact of slinging salt all over the entirety of the infrastructure every winter.l which would destroy everything.

Maine has plenty of unused land to solar farm, this is literally one of the worst places to put it.

Find a capped landfill, out of service PFAS infested farmland or literally one of the billions of acres of cheap rural land that's accessible and safe.

I think the fact that is has worked well for other countries is the main reason Americans are so against it. If it works somewhere else it can't be good, amirite?

Difference is this makes sense whereas his idea did not. He wanted to convert the roads themselves into solar panels.

Guys wrong, though. Interceptor is superior in every way to the Town Car. There's a reason it's picked.

Houlton is on the path of totality

You think it's efficient use of state resources to doing that instead of a farm setup like the private sector does? Come on... this idea isn't even fully formed.

I see your user name and I really hope you’ve heard the song+album Minelli did with PSB. A hidden gem of Pop music.
