Comment on Switzerland authorizes removable PV plant on railway track

At least for right now it’s just a test on a 100-meter length of track, but this reeks of a startup trying to innovate its way out of NIMBYs not wanting to put solar panels where they actially belong without considering why nobody has put solar panels in the middle of a railroad track before (cough rocks, wildlife, and vandalism cough).

One more reason. The reason they tell people not to lay on the tracks under the train, the freaking cables and chains that could come loose and dangle under the cars and drag along the ground that would cut you in half the long way. Those loose parts would just destroy the solar panels.
