Solar Roadways is a company that will create thousands of jobs making high tech hexagonal tiles to replace asphalt and concrete surfaces abound.
The tempered glass solar tiles withstand the heaviest loads and will harness more than 3x the national energy usage. They're pressure sensitive and house LED lights to display warnings of obstacles on the road ahead and replace old fashioned road paint. The tiles can be heated, which means no more ice and snow conditions = less accidents and tax dollars for salting roads. The proposed infrastructure will keep high speed internet and cable lines under the road and recycle storm water.
The technology exists, the funding is needed. Let's make it happen.
