By Katie Olson

Highway roadsides could become powerful solar farms. Using GIS technology, planners are identifying which U.S. roadside stretches have solar potential and plotting underground power lines to carry that energy across the country. This innovative approach, led by The Ray and its partners, supports grid resilience as rising temperatures stress energy infrastructure and resources.
