I believe that you have to think outside their particular idea to see the possibilities of this technology. I can't see the entire road being solar but I can see some benefits this technology could provide. Sometimes streets could be one way, sometimes two way, sometimes 3 lanes in one direction and one in the other. If the technology was also integrated into cars where they could read the signals this could assist the driver as well.

Think about getting rid of painted pavement lines and integrating this solar powered LED systems into existing asphalt and concrete roads. You could literally change traffic flow for given needs and different times by changing the the lights around.

I don't care about their asphalt claims etcetera, I just like some of the ideas in the technology. Most of the time inventors can't see past their own arrogance to realize the real potential of their inventions anyway. I have run into this when prototyping machines and having the original inventor fight me every step of the way when I tried to improve it.

I want nuclear too though. I think wind farms are a waste of resources and land. I just believe we are going to have to look at integrating all different types of technology to supply our energy needs. I don't think it will come from one source. I am also not interested in an electric car until at least a 3-400 mile range can be had and they get past nimh batteries.
