President Donald Trump publicly proposed the idea of a “solar wall” on the Southern border, to help pay for the building costs. “Solar wall panels, beautiful, I mean actually, think of it. The taller it goes the more valuable it is,” Trump said during a rally in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

Trump said that there was “lots of sun” and “lots of heat” on the Southern border, which would allow the wall to create energy and help pay for construction costs.

“This way Mexico will have to pay much less money, and that’s good,” Trump said. “We’ll see.”

Trump reportedly floated the idea of a solar wall during a meeting with Congressional leaders in June, but hasn’t publicly confirmed the reports.

Ok, that’s nice. Just build it already.

He wrote that line in one of his books, talking about his strategy of high-rise real estate.

How about if it’s electrically charged by whatever form of power is cheapest.

What started out as a ‘media joke’ poking fun at President Trump, someone took the article to him and he liked it, and now look what happened...

I personally think it's a good idea...we are building the wall in some parts, but this is saving electricity and helping to cut the costs of utilities...

Who wouldn't like the idea of saving money?

Just don't let the Government Bureaucracy build or design it ...

Better make it black paint proof, rock proof, bullet proof, theft proof, bomb proof, etc. proof. The enemies will take it as a challenge to destroy them.

You could put the PE panels on the north side, but that kind of defeats the purpose.

Call it a green energy initiative to save the planet. Hoist the left on it’s own petard.

An utterly stupid idea. Think again, guys.

I worked on a team that built the Solar Panels and Control System for the ARAMCO Pipeline. This use on The Border Barrier is exactly where Solar Power is effective and efficient.

Would it fry the buggers if they attempted to climb over? /s...sorta

I think it’s a great idea. Besides, it is really triggering the liberals. They are going to hate solar power now!

[Chgogal]

What happens when the Mexican Cartels shoot at it?

[magua]

Share cost with Mexico and have it be a joint venture. Win Win

Love how he’s getting the left at their own game.
