    I am very interested. Not sure why Obama admin are loaning and granting billions of dollars to 'green' scammers, but innovators like this have to beg for funding.

    I like the vision. Building and upkeep of the foundation for the panels may be costly.

    Build the first mile of public road as a test bed. See what works and what doesn't. Make improvements and go from there. Why haven't the cities of Boulder or Berkley done this yet?

    I would need to see the long term cost of manufacturing, installing, upkeep, etc... before I would spend a penny on it. It may make sense in highly populated areas, but probably not so much in the middle of Kansas or Montana.

    I'd have them redo the apron in front of the shop.

    Looks pretty legit. It will be neat to watch this develop.

    Girlscouts? Hmmm, I don't know... I think it's kinda dangerous to teach young girls self esteem and leadership skills.

    Having (sadly) lived in both Boulder AND Bezerkley, I can say that both are fond of the theoretical but hopeless at the practical. Plenty of Nobel Prize winners in both....plenty of potholes in the streets of both.

    Another one that knows it as Bezerkley. Think I first heard it in 75 or so. And I will agree that it needs a test. Interesting idea. Tie it in with RF and no more cell towers. The amount of infrastructure would be immense for this.
    I see you running, tell me what your running from

    Nobody's coming, what ya do that was so wrong.
