Solar Freakin’ Roadways!

I haven’t paid as much attention to green technologies as I should have. But the concept of the technology in this video is pretty darned cool. My son showed it to me and while the first part of the presentation is kind of sophomoric, the idea is pretty compelling. I’d be curious to know what the cost for new roads would be and how much it would cost to do upgrades and maintenance in comparison to what it costs to do asphalt. Of course, that’s not a fair comparison, but I know that the average politician or even average person is going to just do the simple comparison and miss the side benefits.
