Let's get right to the point, everybody. Solar Roadways are a genius innovation that needs to be shared and spread around. They are enormously beneficial to society and below I'll post a video explaining their benefits and it ISN'T a boring science video.

The company responsible does have an indiegogo that has reached its goal, but there is a movement to achieve government funding. It would triple US energy generation, lower energy bills everywhere, they're heated which eliminates snow/ice on driveways and roadways, and even eliminates the need for telephone poles. This would create an immense amount of manufacturing jobs which further helps the economy.
