“The panels would store solar power in hydrogen fuel cells, the Paris based firm said. As more than enough energy would be stored to power the Cathedral, the excess could be channelled to nearby buildings.”

“The roof would also house a garden which would provide fruit and vegetables for the city’s poor and homeless.  “

It is one of a number of designs submitted after the French government announced an international competition to design a new roof after the old, timber roof was burnt down in the devastating fire earlier this year.“

YAAAAS DO IT HOLY GOD
