Making Good Use of Dead People.

At least until we start taking advantage of them for their biomass offerings...

Very cool, cemeteries are such a waste of space. I'm glad to see someone using them for something productive.

When I'm dead you can plant a circus on my grave. Solar-pwered, I hope.

Eh...I sort of agree. I plan of getting cremated when I'm done, so I do think cemetaries are a waste of space. However, I think a makeshift powerplant is pretty ugly.

It's just a roof over a cemetery. Why not? It's not as if the deceased would profit by the sunshine in any way. The Tibetans always hacked up their dead to feed the wild birds. That's an even better idea for recycling energy when your activities are finally over. I'd draw the line at Soylent Green, though.

I thought they were maybe trying to make use of the gas emitting from the rotten carcasses.

Put solar panels over graveyards? Great idea. Make use for space that should have never been taken up in the first place.

Personally I think we should grind up the dead and use them for fertilizer.

Soylent Cola on the other hand is the way to go.

Me too

Upon review, I don't see how you would even see the panels whilst grieving. Def a plus.
