An usually wide adoption of rooftop solar in Aleppo, Syria.
The United States is SOOOOO far behind.
We just need to have a devastating civil war that destroys most of our existing energy infrastructure and we can get there too 😊
American cities should have looked like this 20+ years ago.
More than that. Carter put solar panels on the White House. Regan took them down. 40+ years of making America worse so the dragons could grow their hordes.
Real people wouldn’t even notice from the streets, but rich fucks would see them from their jets and oppose it.

We can’t even manage to do the apartment buildings, let alone the solar panels.
Does no one remember this place being decimated by the US and Russia?? It’s not unusual, its because there is probably a lack of reliable electricity infrastructure
Yup, they have had a total systems collapse. They are there because they have not choice not due to any forward thinking or some other policy.
huh, those roofs look kinda weird and all the same- (takes a closer look) oh it’s all solar panels that’s actually really cool
That makes me so incredibly happy.
I wonder if their government is subsidizing them in some way. But also looking at it most of them are on apartment buildings so it may just be that every tennant in the building chips in to a common fund to get them installed so they get lower electricity costs. Pretty smart investment since those panels last for decades and the cost will be covered way before they reach end of life.
I’m sure electric service has been patchy at best given the war ravaged state of things there.
ISIS subsidizing solar energy. What a timeline
They aren’t being governed by ISIS.
Wrong goddess, that’s RA
Correct, it’s the other big islamist group, al-Qaeda.
Also wrong.
Either you are misinformed, an idiot or just racist.

Ah yeah, Wikipedia – an ultimate source of symbolic truth, which points exactly at al-qaueda if you are not deliberately ignore it, morron
What a nasty stain on the Internet you’re making.
Oh yeah I am
Al Qaeda and Isis aren’t the same thing, even acknowledging al-Sharaa was a part of al-Qaeda for several years and Al Nusra is just a spin off of AQ. Al Nusra and Isis have been fighting one another for over a decade.
While this is true, the new government seems to be loyal to people convicted of fighting for isis
I’ll do you one better - why is Aleppo?
