    I remember seeing another video about this a while back. It definitely looks hopeful. I'm guessing the biggest hurdle will be finding enough recycled materials and keeping the oil companies at bay. It sure seems like a great idea!

    Solar freakin roadways!

    Heated roadways that don't have to be plowed. That can warn you if an animal or a boulder is on the road ahead, that can light itself, and produces three time more electricity than we could use. Jobs, jobs, jobs! And it will look like Tron!!

    And they have met their Indiegogo campaign goal so production should start later this year!!! :D :-bd \:D/

    at some point, why not? Stop on the side of the road or at a rest area and plug in?

    Near downtown is a park with a ring of metered parking that has at least 2 spots designated as electric car only with plug in available. Downside is they are always empty when I am down there.

    Good Idea we have this Big Ball of energy in the Sky might as well make use of it...have energy Stations if you will to Power up Solar Powers cars.
