Solar FREAKIN' Roadways!

Stormsinger says...

Asphalt may be petroleum based, but it's also one of the most recycled products ever...around 99% of all asphalt is recycled. The increasing cost of petroleum will take decades to make this a cheaper alternative.

It does -nothing- for electric vehicles, or for snowplowing. Those claims are nothing but the purest bullshit. The amount of electricity needed to melt more than a trace of snow is utterly prohibitive. Which is why you don't see heated roads...or any of the others that this video "addresses" (without providing any actual facts, of course).

you're not wrong that rooftop solar panels would collect more energy. but this also kills many birds with one idea/stone. since asphalt is petroleum-based, the costs for roads is constantly going up, this solves that. this solves a lot of issues with electric vehicles, and snow plowing and many others that the video addresses.

but hey, even if this idea ultimately doesn't work out. any work done on this project can be spun off into a new project that could benefit us greatly.

so I've got zero problem investing in this, even if it ultimately it doesn't pan out, because this work will ultimately benefit someone else's work.

Russians Must Hate Snow Plows

Dramatic tension. You know something is going to happen, but not knowing exactly when is half the fun.

I thought the car was just going to get buried by a snowplow. Collision surprised me. Nice that @mintbbb didn't spoil it in the tags.

Russians Must Hate Snow Plows

That reminds me of people in like Pennsylvania who drive 80mph after an ice storm and you can drive a mile and see 4 cars in the ditch. (Well that or they slow to an absolute crawl). When you see a big snowplow that blinds everything behind it you perform a maneuver popularly called 'slow the fuck down'.

This'll be my last response in this thread, because it's getting us nowhere.

However, I'll once again give you the quote you apparently missed:

"My electronics are protected."

For starters, I wouldn't be carrying a laptop on a day when it was raining, and if I was, I'd be springing for a cab most likely, and I wear a leather coat keeping my phone and MP3 player in the inner chest pocket, both of which are inside their own protective casing. My watch is waterproof, the only thing that's in any danger of getting wet are $9 headphones that I have multiple pairs of, so, go ahead, soak me. See what happens.

And for the record, No, I've never been hit by a huge puddle. I have, though, been hit by a wave of snow from a snowplow, and I can tell you that I laughed my ass off.

Maybe being from the different places we're from are what cause our attitudes to be so different, but I still stand by my statement.
