More About Me
I'm passionate about
Renewable energy
An idea worth spreading
Solar Roadways
Homes and businesses powered by solar energy
The road itself becomes the power/data grid
No more ugly telephone/utility poles and wires
No more black outs
Roads are snow and ice free
Road lines are lit for safer night driving
Road lines can be instantly customized
No more wildlife on roads
Reduced drunk driving, crime, and terrorism
Electric cars can recharge anywhere
An end to the need for fossil fuels
No more dependency upon foreign oil
A solution to Global Warming

Thanks for the mention. I don't know if you're aware of it, but we did a TEDx Talk in Sacramento last year about the Solar Roadways project: http://www.youtube.com/user/TEDxTalks#p/u/0/nvWTaqUvsfA
It was a great experience and the video is approaching 5200 views.
Our current entry in the second round of the GE Ecomagination Challenge is here: http://challenge.ecomagination.com/home/Solar-Roadway-Home-Application
We'd appreciate the support of our fellow TEDsters!
Thanks again,
Scott
