Many airport parking lots are putting in solar panels. But that has a cost to it, it can't happen instantly.

Wind turbines are way too large to just put in the round abouts. There total rotor diameter is often longer than football fields, THEY ARE MASSIVE. you also can't just install these easily, their foundations are very important and probably larger than you realize. Also the location has to actually have the wind for it to be worth the cost. Smaller ones are significantly less efficient and often not worth the costs to install or maintain.

If you think they haven't considered these as options and ruled many of them out for completely logical reasons, then you're not really paying attention.

Edit: The raise both beef and dairy cattle, they rotate depending on the season. Its smaller farms where I live. Their dairy cattle are dry 10 months after birth and have slightly longer time between births due to not being a large commercial production.

Again, the FIRST PLACE for them to be installed.

And I am not seeing them at the airports.

And I am not seeing any evidence that they can't go in the cloverleaves.

What I have seen is an airport which wouldn't install them because it may go against their federal lease and DOT who didn't want them in the cloverleaves because that was there area.
