A Shiny Border Wall That Pays for Itself


Resolving the political impasse between Mexico and the U.S. over a border wall requires innovative thinking. How about this: Presidents Donald Trump and Enrique Peña Nieto should work together to construct a “solar wall”—a massive string of photovoltaic panels—on the Mexican side of the border. Building on our previous research, Homero Aridjis and James Ramey proposed the idea late last year. After studying the concept, we have concluded that the idea is not only technically and economically feasible, it might even be more practical than a traditional wall.

Interesting idea.
