Solar Roadways
I personally think this is a brilliant idea. When I talk to my friends about it, only a few of them knew about this idea, the rest hadn't heard of it and didn't understand my enthusiasm. If you click on the link, it'll take you to the YouTube video of the Press Conference with Ted Talks.
I just think this should get more awareness. I think I'm quite an environmentally friendly person. I'm for recycling and reducing waste. I have a drawer in my room filled with scrap paper. They're usually handouts that teachers have given us in class and I have no use for them anymore. But it's only been printed on one side so the other side can still be used. I did all my revision notes and past papers on these scraps of paper. And the amount of paper I had to use, gosh! I've probably saved a couple of trees by reusing the backs of paper.
Anyway, the idea of solar roadways benefits the environment in so many ways and will be very sustainable. Sure it is expensive now, but it will pay for itself. And it's so full of potential benefits: reducing CO2 emissions as less fossil fuels would be used, preserving the natural non renewable sources, using renewable clean energy, lowering energy costs that maybe one day it may even be free (or worth such a small price), cleaning waterways etc.
I think people need to start embracing ideas such as this. Humans have damaged the Earth so much due to the consequence of our innovative ideas to make this world much more comfortable to live in. But we should start using our brains to reverse this damage if we want to world to continue remaining comfortable for generations to come.
I think it just needs to start on a small scale and gradually build up. The prototypes look promising, it will really make the world a better place in the future. Just watch the video and I hope you see my enthusiasm for this project.
