Interesting article in the Gainesville Sun today about keeping Gainesville a city-in-the-trees. Nice to see the city managers are paying attention to this.
The article said a shade tree provided more cooling than solar energy would provide if the tree was not there and the roof was covered in solar panels.
Lots of other good reasons for trees.
Trees are solar panels in three dimensional solar panels, efficiently soaking up almost all the light that comes their way. Look how dark it is under the leaves of a tree.
