I'd have to see a lot more data before I signed up for this idea in particular, but as a general idea, this is the kind of thinking and innovation we need going forward (as a species).

Invent stuff. Do great things. Make piles of money doing it. Awesome.

I don't think i would want to drive on glass when wet though :P :$ I think they need to think about that, and lightening striking the roads.

If it was easy, it would have been already done. The point is we are challenged to solve the problem.

A task too hard, time too short, resources too little... yet people find solutions....

Man, if only we had something like that in a High School robotics program...

I recall saving a cheerleader to be the requirement to save the world. Can anyone confirm this? If so, we just need to find the cheerleader.

I can't view the site because I am at work. Based on the posts it seems that the proposal is to replace highways with solar panels, is that correct?

I remember a while back reading an artical that proposed running piping through the asphalt to take advantage of the heat absorbed by the black top, that solution would eliminate the problem with drivin on glass.
