try and wrap your mind around this one for a new idea. What do you think?

Sounds pretty interesting. I guess the next step is to field some limited test solar roads to observe how they perform in an actual vehicle road environment. I can imagine that this type of road would be VERY expensive to build but if it could pay for itself during its service life, it would be a great thing. I wonder what the costs and service life of such a road would be per mile? I think a GREAT place to test bed this type of road structure would be at airports first, then test it on actual roads. Airports have HUGE areas of tarmack that would be ideal for testing with heavy air traffic.

Thats pretty cool stuff... It would also be good for driveways!I also think the solar shingles are pretty cool.
