Wonder how long it will be before someone deliberately drives over it with no tire, just the rim etc.

This paragraph caught my eye : 'The 1 kilometer road was opened yesterday by French Ecology Minister Ségolène Royal and could generate enough electricity to power the street lights'.

Someone should tell her...

If you mean wrong time of day, it's you being stupid, they'd have batter= ies, or push power on and off the grid.

If you mean it's a pathetic amount, I agree. They're far less efficient= than roof panels, so I don't see the point.

How do they seperate the men from the boys in the Navy? With a crowbar.

Is this a legit article? Someone came up with this idea a couple of years ago and were posting YouTube videos about it, which were thoroughly debunked as being "unrealistic" by numerous other YouTubers. So to find out that someone has ACTUALLY done this, given the amount of people demonstrating how it will never work is something of a surprise...

I'm not surprised some stupid greenie has acquired loads of government money to do it.

I wonder what the surface is like when trying to brake hard in wet weather? How long before there is a thick layer of diesel particles and rubber from tires blocking the light?

[Tim Streater]

Or mud.

[James Wilkinson Sword]

Oh I'm sure they've thought of all that..... [laughs hard enough to lose balance]

EEVblog #632 - Solar Roadways Are BULLSHIT!

[Mike Tomlinson]

The site has a "tedious troll" blocking filter and/or you're too stupid to use a computer.

[James Wilkinson Sword]

No, the browser showed no article.

You have always been the clown of newsgroups and always will be. I like a spot of entertainment in the evenings, you are it.

[James Wilkinson Sword]

The BROWSER showed no article. Badly written page no doubt.

[Mr Pounder Esquire]

Excellent! I just knew that you would not let me down.

[James Wilkinson Sword]

Why would you blame me for my computer not displaying a webpage?
