Solar panel plan for Mexico wall

22 June 2017

US President Donald Trump has told supporters that his proposed wall along the border with Mexico could have solar panels fixed to it ...

He suggested the plan was his own, saying: "Pretty good imagination, right? Good? My idea."

However, solar panels have been included in designs for the wall submitted by companies ...

Mr Trump told cheering supporters at a campaign-style rally in Cedar Rapids on Wednesday that he would "give you an idea that nobody has heard about yet" ...

all those massive tax cuts are going to cost. At least we will capture the energy from our people ovens, unlike the Nazis of old.....

installation. Dropping the wall part will save billions and we won't have to pay foreign labor to build it (you know the American laborers will all be doing the supervisory jobs and the ultra-skilled labor jobs-not the scut work).

Frankly only a small demonstration section of wall will ever be built and some entrepreneur will buy it at govt surplus sale and turn it into a tourist trap. (another roadside attraction to stop at when on vacation with the kids-actually I like this idea, might be able to develop it into a theme park with a Trump Hotel managed by some Russians and staffed with special temp visa labor.).
