[Today's Sign That the Apocalypse Is Not As Near As I Think]

WallyWorld has accepted bids on what could become the largest solar power project in history. If they proceed it will be 50x larger than the (currently biggest) Google corporate headquarters solar array.

At the end of February Walmart will announce a decision, so they still have ample time to reverse course. But there is some small measure of hope.

Does this mean Wallyworld cares about the environment, or does it mean they're getting smarter PR-wise?

PR wise. If they cared, they would pay their employees fairly. So my taxes are not buying their groceries! While two thumbs up for walmart's efforts, can't we close them all down to make the world a better place?

Agreed. They are still a horrible company. But if they make this move it will effect the solar industry in general in a huge way, as well as creating a trickle-down effect with other companies.
