    Re: Solar Highways made of Glass.

    It's a neat idea, but every road I see has wide dark lines down the middle of the lanes from oil drip.
    So if used for our petrol powered vehicles, I'd think many of the solar cells would become covered in oil residue pretty quickly, thereby reducing the efficiency of the system.
    Or we could make hi-tech street cleaners to go around scrubbing all the roads all day long.

    Although if we all had electric cars and trucks, a way to recharge them as you drove might also be possible with roads like that.
    Imagine a World with no fuel stations.

    Next we'll be powering our cars with poop. Oh wait

    This is practical and worth doing in some areas. This can charge batteries too at the same time for the proportion of a trip without overhead grid-wire.

    The highway where trucks work like electric trains
    In Lübeck, Germany, there's one of several eHighway test projects: overhead catenary wires, where electric trucks with pantographs can pull power directly from the grid.

    Comparison of overall efficiency for internal combustion engine vehicles and electric vehicles. The only way the electric vehicle gains an advantage over internal combustion engines is when it can draw 100% of its power from wind / solar.

    Why do you omit coal, hydro and nuclear?

    That is a good question, I thought coal was in their study but I did notice they did not include hydro. I didn't realize they hadn't included nuclear until you pointed it out.

    Before this covid scam I read an analysis that made an overall comparison from mining the materials to produce the vehicles, manufacturing , the fuel efficiency factors, energy for electrical production and energy for acquiring the petroleum and refining it into fuels then the energy necessary for disposal of the worn out vehicles. That study also rated diesel power ahead of electric.

    However figures lie and liars figure so who is going to give us a totally unbiased report?
