This is probably the most amazing thing I've seen in a very long time. I just watched the YERT video, and if everything they stated is accurate, I'm sold. We need to invest in this.
  • Prevents icy roads with built in heaters
  • Eliminates fading road paint which can make it difficult to see at night along with the waste of money and chemicals to create and reapply said paint
  • Eliminates a large dependancy on petrolium for use in asphalt
  • Enables us to harness energy from the sun to do all of this while giving us the possibility of powering the entire country via our roads...things that just sit there year after year and cost us money can now pay for themselves and offer us energy in return!
  • Reduction or elimination of Coal/Nuclear power for something clean
They have an Indigogo campaign: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/solar-roadways , and I am contributing. Why can't we have more selfless, forward thinkers in our society? We are too focused on our immediate self gratification and pointless desires rather than making an effort to help the rest of the world and future generations.
