Are you interested in becoming an organizer in your area?

Maybe--But Not Sure What to Organize

Tell us about your experience with alternative energy:

My wife and I are the founders of the Solar Roadways project - a means for replacing our current asphalt roads, parking lots, and driveways with structurally engineered solar panels that you drive on. Enough solar panels to produce three times more electricity than we've ever used as a nation. A means for weaning us off fossil fuels (oil AND coal) and nuclear power forever.

Please visit our website at: www.solarroadways.com

What excites you about this campaign?

Pointing our country (and the world) in the right direction: independence from fossil fuels.

What do you want to do to help?

We would be honored to add our Solar Roadways project to the Picken's Plan if Mr. Pickens so desires. Our system could become the power grid / transmission system that the Picken's Plan needs to distribute wind (and any other form of) power.

The Solar Roadways could become the power grid / transmission system that the Picken's Plan requires. Please visit our Solar Roadways website or our MySpace page

Great news: our Solar Roadways project is one of five finalists in the 2009 ACE Awards:

Winners will be chosen on March 31st

We didn't win, but it was a much needed break anyway! Congratulations to Cymbet Corporation.

Solar Roadways awarded $100K contract from the U.S. Department of Transportation

Press release:

U.S. DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION AWARDS RESEARCH CONTRACT TO SOLAR ROADWAYS

Funds intelligent roads and parking lots

SOLAR ROADWAYS, SAGLE, IDAHO (August 25, 2009)- Solar Roadways today announced that it has been awarded a DOT contract that will enable them to prototype the first ever Solar Road Panel.

The Solar Roadways will collect solar energy to power businesses and homes via structurally-engineered solar panels that are driven upon, to be placed in parking lots and roadw… Continue

I did not want to ask on the post as it would be a building block for negs.
First i want to say I think it is forward thinking and that is great!!

How will the panels deal with the effects of the heat and thaw cycle and the effects thereof from weight? We all have driven on roads of 6-10" concrete
and the wear patterns that form, and the cracks that I think enevidably occur.

Then what about the enevidable road soot- oil, debree, skid marks and the spills that always accumulates. I wonder about the effectiveness as all these elements will come into play.

I hope you continue to plug into this site any prototypes, working roadways, and give us a sense for how real this project is -- as Boone says about RES, we needed to do something twenty years ago. This is what many call "disruptive technology". I call it "bootstrapping" because it would enable us to immediately have a national grid for the simple cost of paving the roadways.
