Solar freaking roadways

solar freaking roadways what are they they're solar freaking roadways what do they want from me well they're solar freaking roadways okay so actually this time what is it it's technology that replaces all roadways parking lots sidewalks driveways TX bike paths and Outdoor Recreation services with solar panels and not just lifeless boring solar panels smart microprocessing interlocking hexagonal solar units no more useless ashall and concrete just sitting there baking in the sun needing to be paved and filling with potholes that ruin your axle alignment on your sweet ride bro these are intelligent solar panels replace the panel at a time if damaged or mouth functioning they're covered with a new tempered glass material that has been designed and tested to meet all Impact load and traction requirements oh and did I mention that they're also solar panels they generate electricity they generate Capital they pay for themselves and they keep paying more cuz we're not going to run out of sun for like 15 billion years that lowers the cost of energy unlike those bills in the mail that keep going up and it's clean energy everyone can theoretically Drive an electric car with no pollution and a minimal carbon footprint can you imagine how good our cities would smell how much healthier we'd all be excuse me young man am I being led to believe that this thing is some sort of thing yes it's a thing a real thing and clean energy is only its primary function grab a notepad cuz this is where it gets interesting for those in the north the panels use energy they collect to power elements to keep the surface temperature a few degrees above freezing they're heated no more ice and snow on roads causing traffic delays accidents and injury no more shoveling your driveway and sidewalk no adult corroding your car or wasting tax money on snow removal and you can ride your bike or drive your motorcycle all year round wao every panel has a series of LED lights on the circuit board that can be programmed to make Lan Escape designs warning signs parking lot configurations whatever these roads never have to have Lanes repainted just reprogrammed to whatever we choose or whatever works best imagine a highway road lighting up ahead of you how much safer it would be to drive at night there' be improved visibility for Pilots landing on solar Landing strips imagine walking onto a solar Recreation court and choosing a sports configuration want to play basketball cool kids want to play hopscotch in for square awesome ball hockey done and with LED lights under your feet it's going to look like freaking Tron out there but real because this is the real world wa but these panels are also pressure sensitive so they can detect when large debris like branches or bards have fallen onto the road or if an animal is crossing it can warn drivers with LED text to slow down for an obstruction I'm very you know environmentally conscious good cuz solar roadways use as much recycled material in their production as possible plus the roadways have two channels that form what's called a cable Corridor that runs concurrently with the roadways themselves one part houses electrical cables meaning power lines data lines fiber optics and high-speed internet which replaces the need for telephone poles and hanging wires that can be damaged during storms causing power outages or become extremely dangerous if severed either as Fallen live wires or buried cables the other channel captures and filters storm water and melted snow moving them either to a treatment facility or treating them on site greatly decreasing the amount of pollution that enters our soil l lakes rivers and oceans uh I'm kind of broke bro yeah no kidding the economy is in the toilet do you realize how many thousands of jobs this could create and sustain talk about a hypodermic adrenaline shot to the heart of the manufacturing and infrastructure sector and it pays for itself their solar freaking roadways um I have concerns about the future is this thing even possible I told you yes solar roadway technology was invented by engineering couple Julie and Scott bruss saww in 2006 two of the sweetest people in the world who met when they were 3 and four years old listen to these two hi we're Scott and Jill bruaw inventors of solar roadways we met in the 1960s when we were 3 and four years old these wonderful intelligent people want to begin manufacturing a technology that can empower the future of the whole freaking planet they were rewarded a contract from the Federal Highway Administration to build two prototypes which are now complete they're too humble and wonderful to yell at you over the Internet so I'm going to do it you need to know about this technology you need to get behind it you need to share it with everyone you know is this is actually happening whoa for the first time time in human history we have the technology to do what Nature has done since the beginning of Life on this planet harness the power of the sun to fuel our Pursuits and this isn't about filling a field with solar panels wasting land our roads and parking lots are just sitting there reflecting sunlight and absorbing heat not doing nothing for nobody which I guess means it's doing something for somebody but not very much it's time for an upgrade we have to make the changes we want to see in the world the fhwa has provided the startup funds to create the prototypes but now a Grassroots effort of concerned and inspired people can push this project into independent production if we vote with our money for projects we believe in we can create a future where our society is driven by new ideas it need only begin with private driveways and parking lots once the ball gets rolling it'll create a momentum all of its own let's put our roads to work not to mention it's finally going to look like the freaking future out there city streets driveways sidewalks and schoolyards glowing with LED panels are you kidding imagine street festivals imagine marra imagine the movement Electronic Music Festival in downtown Detroit but all the concrete and heart plast has been replaced with pressure sensitive panels with multicolored lights in them I would lose my mind and not to mention the freaking solar panels it has been estimated that if all the roads in America were converted to solar roadways the country would generate three times as much energy as it currently uses think about that an abundance of clean energy so quickly in review love biking solar roadways hate high energy bills solar roadways love the movie Tron solar roadways worried about the economy solar roadways Sports solar roadways scared of hitting moose solar roadways hate gasoline prices solar roadways helping developing countries solar roadway ha tar fumes solar roadways love recycling solar roadway winter driving solar roadways hate shoveling snow solar Road clean solar roadway a job solar roadways want to save this planet and make it sustainable for your kids and all future generations of Life who can look back and say hey at least they invented solar freaking roadways please follow the link to indiegogo.com meet Scott and Julie brussa check out their work and get informed this isn't just donating it's an investment in a real future let's do this because finally it's possible will I lose thank you and I could not see this love in front of [Music] me so I stopped and I took my time and I walked long on the finest [Music] line then I stepped to the beautiful side [Music]
