Solar Panels Invade Waterways: Sunbathers Beware!
In a move that sounds like a lazy sci-fi crossover, the daring 1.6-megawatt pilot solar system is taking over America's waterways—yes, rivers and canals, not your roof! The plan? Harness the sun's power while letting water do its own thing underneath, promising gigawatts of green juice nationwide. It's like someone thought, 'Why limit solar to boring old roofs when lakes could use some sunblock?' Beach umbrellas on hydroelectric steroids, or the ocean's newest tanning salon? This watery innovation flirts with eco-friendly genius and borderline absurdity simultaneously—with no installation date ceremonies, but definitely big wattage dreams!

So let me get this straight: we’re slapping solar panels on water now? What’s next, wind turbines in your morning coffee? The 1.6-megawatt pilot project is basically combining lazy water with complicated tech. Sun, meet splash. Splash, meet inflated expectations.
Putting solar panels over water is like using a spotlight to read underwater—brilliant idea, terrible practicality. Next: putting AC units on glaciers to cool down icebergs.
Oh, I’m sorry, did I miss the part where water and solar panels make a match that doesn’t short circuit faster than my phone’s battery? 1.6 megawatts of buzzing confusion incoming!
