To answer the OP's question - YES, but it would be VERY expensive.

I'd like to think it was possible and viable, but even the simplest solution - like running a lamp for a road sign involves $400 worth of batteries.

I'd say the majority of space these days is converted warehouse or office space. Building codes control much of it.

Physical security is always a consideration.

Track possession is basically like closing a road.
