For sure…don’t get me wrong, I’m 100% pro-renewables. I was super hyped about that guy that was making road “tiles” out recycled glass that had solar panels, heating elements, and LEDs incorporated. Would have been a neat multi-purpose solution. It’s a shame it turned out sucking.
Haha, yea, when I saw that road tile thing, it was like oh that’s not going to work. Putting down movable piezoelectric tiles is a fun idea but with 2 to 20,000 lb vehicles constantly running over it, It’s just impractical.
Make a tunnel or archway covering or partially covering the roadway instead and line the surfaces with solar panels. Bingbangboom done.
Throw a couple of those vertical axis turbines in while you’re at it that run off displaced vehicle air. Boombombang.
