SOLAR ROADWAYS

and if you think it cant or wont happen you must be living in a dream world.

If you think it WILL happen then you must be living in a world that I wouldn't want any part of. Life is quite a bit happier when you aren't afraid of things that potentially, maybe, possibly could happen at some point in the next 100 years.

OT though, this is a brilliant idea. I agree, have a couple of cities do some test runs on it. Have them bid for it like cities did for that super fast Google internet (whatever the hell it's called). Don't subsidize it with tax dollars, crowdfund it (like they are doing) and see where it takes us. This is the kind of thing that is going to keep the US afloat, we need more people with ideas like this. Regardless of whether or not it actually works, it means that people are thinking. And thinking is what we need the people of this nation to do.

I like the "idea" of solar.

I think that a road is too much for it though. Roof tops.. fine.

the ground under roads constantly moves, expands, contracts, shifts, is washed away etc. Real world testing would probably show these wont work. How do pot holes affect it? if one piece goes bad how much does it affect the other pieces?

Ouch...I don't know if I have enough burn ointment for that one. I would imagine living in BFE Colorado is what keeps you from speaking to people. Nice try though.
