The Kony 2012 of Roads - Solar Freakin' Roadways
http://pizzamas.com I think we sometimes get stuck thinking that the only worthwhile solutions are the solutions that solve everything all at once. Certainly that's very exciting, and it would be very cool if we could get some of those for, like, transportation and medicine and democracy, but instead, it's mostly a bunch of work of lots of individuals doing small things that ends up making the world better. I get very skeptical when big simple solutions are proposed to me, and I think you should as well.
A lot of people have done great work showing that solar roads are a bad idea. This video actually came out DURING the 2014 campaign, which is amazing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=obS6TUVSZds

World's first 'solar-panel highway' in China recharges electric cars
The world’s first solar-panel highway is set to open in China. The two-kilometer highway can turn sunlight into electricity and directly transfer it to the power grid. It can also remotely charge electric cars as they are being driven.

How America Can Boost Solar Power by 56% Using Highways
In the first quarter of 2021, the US increased its solar use by 46% over the same period the previous year. By the end of 2020, the country took third place in the world in terms of the total capacity of solar panels, bypassing Japan, but yielding to China and the European Union. How is the United States able to improve this figure by 56% using thousands of kilometers of motorways?

What If We Covered Our Roads with Solar Panels?
We sure love our roads. We love them so much that we seem determined to pave the entire world. But maybe roads can become the future of renewable energy. That’s right, roads as energy generators. How? By building them with solar panels. Do we have the technology? Could we power the entire world? What are the drawbacks?

Netherlands rolls out 'solar road'
Solar power is the world's fastest growing source of renewable energy.
The panels that harness the power of the sun and convert it are usually perched on rooftops.
But a town in the Netherlands has found a way to build its energy supply into the ground.
Al Jazeera's technology editor Tarek Bazley reports from Krommenie in the Netherlands.

I-Team: Hidden cameras reveal dark side of solar power
By Randy Travis
Published May 16, 2022
DOUGLASVILLE, Ga - A hidden camera FOX 5 I-Team investigation takes the shine off some big promises made to Georgia homeowners about solar power.
With rising energy prices, you may be paying closer attention to those ubiquitous ads on social media:
"The government will cover the cost to install solar."
"Get paid to go solar!"
"Reduce or even eliminate your electric bill by using solar energy."
Amie and Nathan Tatro of Lafayette saw the same ads. So they signed a contract with Power Home Solar -- now Pink Energy -- to outfit their home with solar panels, a deal that cost $91,000 with monthly installments over 25 years.
"It’s not turned out to be what was promised," Amie admitted. "Almost everything he said turned out not to be true."

Technologies that will take solar energy to a new level
The solar energy revolution is happening right before our eyes. The successful transmission of solar energy from space to earth is demonstrating new possibilities for the use of solar power. The world's first train powered by solar panels has been created. In this video, we will discuss this and many other exciting advancements in solar energy, including a new contactless method for cleaning solar panels that could increase the efficiency of solar energy use in homes and buildings.

http://pizzamas.com I think we sometimes get stuck thinking that the only worthwhile solutions are the solutions that solve everything all at once. Certainly that's very exciting, and it would be very cool if we could get some of those for, like, transportation and medicine and democracy, but instead, it's mostly a bunch of work of lots of individuals doing small things that ends up making the world better. I get very skeptical when big simple solutions are proposed to me, and I think you should as well.
A lot of people have done great work showing that solar roads are a bad idea. This video actually came out DURING the 2014 campaign, which is amazing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=obS6TUVSZds
And the same guy took a (maybe a bit excessively gleeful!) look at the failure of a large-scale installation in france: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dM50P4K9UVk

The sun's rays can hit some roads for up to 90 percent of the daylight hours, so companies in Europe and the U.S. are experimenting with building solar panels along or above roads. But are such projects worth the cost? In France one company is hoping to distinguish itself—and reduce costs—with solar panels that are laid directly on the pavement.

DOUGLASVILLE, Ga - A hidden camera FOX 5 I-Team investigation takes the shine off some big promises made to Georgia homeowners about solar power.
With rising energy prices, you may be paying closer attention to those ubiquitous ads on social media:
"The government will cover the cost to install solar."
"Get paid to go solar!"
"Reduce or even eliminate your electric bill by using solar energy."
Amie and Nathan Tatro of Lafayette saw the same ads. So they signed a contract with Power Home Solar -- now Pink Energy -- to outfit their home with solar panels, a deal that cost $91,000 with monthly installments over 25 years.
"It’s not turned out to be what was promised," Amie admitted. "Almost everything he said turned out not to be true."

The solar energy revolution is happening right before our eyes. The successful transmission of solar energy from space to earth is demonstrating new possibilities for the use of solar power. The world's first train powered by solar panels has been created. In this video, we will discuss this and many other exciting advancements in solar energy, including a new contactless method for cleaning solar panels that could increase the efficiency of solar energy use in homes and buildings.
