Ah, yes, solar roadways: because everybody knows the best thing to do with your (relatively, compared to asphalt or concrete) expensive and fragile electronics is to drive cars on them! And the best place for a flat panel that provides shade and rain protection is underfoot, not overhead.

Sorry to ruin your day but solar frickin roadways is currently doing another funding round.

And for some unexplainable reason people are still giving them more money.

It's just such a stupid idea on the face of it. Let's get rid of the extremely durable and infinitely recyclable road surface and replace it with a fragile and unrecyclable chunk of plastic and electronics. Let's put a million tiny solar panels in these chunks of plastic that'll get demolished by cars instead of putting a few larger, cheaper solar panels at the side of the road

Yeah I respect Scott Manley but there's a reason I like Professor Dave and enjoy Thunderf00ts scam debunks. Scammers, con artists, pseudoscientiste, and charlatans need to be treated with far more derision and mokery.
