FREEWAYS AREN’T FREE
Now, money must be raised to start manufacturing the panel pavement system. It takes a lot of funds to build technology of this type. The Brusaws have raised more than $1 million from ordinary people who learned about the Solar Roadways project through news and social media and want to turn this idea into reality. One million dollars may seem like a lot of money. However, some experts estimate the Brusaws' plan could ultimately cost more than $1 trillion.
Could Solar Roadways be the answer to the world’s ever-growing need for electricity? A lot of obstacles stand in the way of re-creating the highway system out of solar panels. But the Brusaws may just be paving a road to the future.
