Going to have to be a shopping-mall sized outhouse to generate any meaningful powerFor the Rubicon trail I would hope that they will only place the charging points at the entrance and exit areas. I can't imagine any other way to do it without altering the trail. For Moab it's such a massive network of trails that I don't know how they would plan on doing it. Maybe a charging location in town. As for blending them in, it was suggested to have a latrine available, the roof of the building is the best way to hide the panels. And it would allow for a large battery system to build a reserve. You are still stuck with looking at a building, but that is at least a functional building even for people who don't have an electric vehicle.
Alternatively...They should put it somewhere it can be used as a winching point, more useful.
This is what I was thinking also = this X how many?It's a big ugly solar farm/charging station to look at.
Including a disconnect from the real and negative impact of electrification. I’m not against it but I find it sad that the social pressure is enormous to only tout the “good” rather than have an honest conversation.That "erosion and destruction" (as you characterized it) isn't caused by vehicle emissions and your pipe dream of PHEVs making offroading 'eco-friendly' just shows an absolute disconnect in your mindset.
Rubicon Springs is PRIVATE land, therefore, it would not require environmental clearance. It would only require a building permit from Eldorado county. Getting supplies to the site would not be a problem, there is already a helipad there that is used to bring in supplies for Jeep Jamborees.....
There are environmental impacts to all construction and this is PUBLIC land, not private. ....
Me and a few others around here probably. I think it’s just part of the process, having controversy due to differing viewpoints.Gosh, who could've predicted most of these responses?
