When I was in elementary school, I had an idea for expressways lined with solar cells that would power the cars driving on it. Seems like a no brainer to incorporate solar cells in the shingles.
I am a real believer in renewables. I mean essentially free energy.
I just hope the world's technology can stay ahead of the problems.
I think solar powered roadways could really become a working solution. The idea sounds great - driving along and recharging your batteries for your vehicle at the same time.
It seems like free clean energy would be wonderful - one less bill to pay right? Lots of stuff that requires any kind of labor to produce should get less expensive too, I would guess.
I think the technological solutions are there or could be researched and refined if given the priority. I mean we put a man on the moon many years ago with much less technical knowledge, it seems like a trivial problem in comparison to switch to renewables and fix some of the issues we face.
To me it is more of a social issue than anything else. We have medicine and food in good supply yet they remain undistributed to many people. Until we change our priorities I fear a lot of our problems will continue.
YES! Absolutely correct! And this may sound silly, but I think that is where there is value to a site like Steemit. Here among all the noise of spam etc, we can see a bit of real community. And in community is where ideas can be discussed and people's minds can be enlightened, educated and changed. Because like you say even if the tech is there, people have to demand the changes!! Well said , my friend.
I had to resteem this!!
True, quite an illuminating comment.
Nice @lightsplasher
