A
new concept has been
gaining a great deal of
attention in the engineering
community
over the past year or so, with
the potential to transform how
we see energy production. It
is known as a ‘solar road’ and
would essentially turn our
transport infrastructure system into one huge renewable
power station that produces
excess clean energy, pays for
itself, prevents accidents and
filters run-off to create drinking water.
