interesting. i don't think they have yet thought about extreme climates like in MN. they would never survive the expansion and contraction. and then the road salt. there are a lot of bugs to work out for sure.

If solar panels prices would come down to where they can be cost effective there are rooftops/yards/sidewalks etc. etc. that could be utilized to place them on instead of something high stress like a roadway. Fail in my opinion.

And my pappy puts in about 2500 hours of work in 9 months (average person works 2000 hrs a year) making asphalt. They are blowing smoke out of their ass when they start the video saying they have quotes of asphalt at $1000/ton.
It didn't get over $250/ton in MN.
