Solar Freakin' Roadways!

I used to think this, then I saw how much over budget the latest attempt at high speed rail has gone in California.

I like this idea a lot because it decentralizes power production and ought to be relatively easy to fund through current infrastructure avenues. I am still skeptical about it's economic viability and durability as a roadway.

I'd really love to see budget comparisons between Japan high speed rails and how much the cal train was. Just for curiosity's sake. Maybe a restructure is in order! Not so much really, but it'd be fun to compare for sure.

Durability tests passed with flying colors, they have demonstration vids on the indie gogo as well as their website FAQ, but economic viability remains to be seen. I'm fairly skeptical in general because it's a great idea that'll put a lot of people out of business or losing profits. No bueno in americana
