May 30, 2014 Solar Roadways
Good Morning everyone, today I’m here to talk about solar roadways. What are solar roadways? Well solar roadways are a clever design, which allows us to replace all sidewalks, driveways, roadways, runways, playing courts and packing lots with intelligent solar panels. Solar roadways are effective yet unique way to reduce global warming, have our roads much safer and with that it is also environmentally friendly. Solar Roadways help reduce global warming by decreasing the amount of coal that is burned which further allows us to reline on the electric roads. "Everyone has power. No more power shortages, no more roaming power outages, no more need to burn coal. Less need for fossil fuels and less dependency upon foreign oil and much less pollution (solar roadways)". This proves that it reduces global warming because if we install these electric roads we wouldn't need to burn as much coal as we do now. You ask why? Well the roads that we use now are made out of asphalt, meaning if we want to install or replace these roads we would need asphalt cement which creates about half of the green house gases. Reducing green houses gases decrease the green house gas effect and a long with global warming. Replacing asphalt roads with solar roads also reduce the amount of pollution, because there would be less dependency on fossil fuels and less dependency on foreign oil. How this reduces global warming and pollution is because in the future we could replace gas station with recharging centers for battery-powered cars. You could recharge you car anywhere! As the company said it here; "How about this for a long term advantage: an electric road allows all-electric vehicles to recharge anywhere: rest stops, parking lots, etc. (Solar Roadways).”
Installing Solar Roadways is beneficial because it allows our roads to be much safer for us and also for wild animals. Imagine
