Solar sidewalks, solar roads, now solar rail?

WHY?! Dave from eevblog did the math and it's bad

Did we really fill up all the area on top of roofs, parkings lots, industrial areas, etc., and we're running out, and we have to put solar cells on railroads?

I think these kinds of ideas capture easily impressionable, elected representatives whose technical knowledge is non existent.

I guess it is easier to control the deployment since they own the railroads.
