  1. Was Justin Trudeau invited to cut the ribbon??
    Now I know why this was not on CBC?????

  2. Did they invite Justin Trudeau to cut the ribbon for the grand opening??
    Of course not!! Now you know why this was not on CBC!!

  3. Sorry about the double post!!
    PS: What do call this place in Idaho? One Kilowatt Park!!

  4. My understanding is that the Gateway Pundit guy is not generally a very reliable source.

  6. The Gateway Pundit guy is linking to several sources for the story, so by impugning him you are also discrediting his sources.

  7. Yes, but IT’S A SOLAR POWERED MICROWAVE PEOPLE!!!! GET WITH IT YOU LUDDITES!!!

  9. Solar roadways generate ZERO kilowatts … underneath the oil spot left by my neighbors junker.
    However ! For another $ 4.3 million annually … we can fund a Federal program to pay for dedicated street sweepers and “organic” solvents to keep the solar streets working at peak efficiency. However, some of those costs can be covered by higher fines and fees for anyone with a leaky crankcase.

  10. I haven’t been able to find independent verification of the reliability of your understanding of things.

  11. And you thought your Venezuelan Government Bonds were giving you crappy returns on your investment!

  13. Sandpoint, Idaho is a trendy, artsy, lefty kind of town located in a lovely part of the state, where ripping off tax breaks and grant money provides a better lifestyle for the “innovators” that can’t seem to foist this scam on sunnier parts of the state, like Burley or Rupert.

  14. Here’s a even more critical review of the whole fiasco:
    Solar Road Update — The Stupid Continues
    The one thing that I can count on is that if someone, somewhere in the world writes on solar roads, I am going to hear about it in my email. I will confess that I have a soft spot for solar roads — it is hard not to be entranced by the spectacle of such an incredibly stupid idea that is greeted by so much enthusiasm from nominally “pro-science” types.

  15. I think we can learn valuable lessons from this.
    There are a hundred million microwaves in the United States, so it will be prudent to build a hundred million of these solar power stations.
    Perhaps two hundred million, to cover future demand.

  16. Not a road surface but a pedestrian use. Still insane investment for this little power. In some parts of Idaho this would be stupid because they have lots of Sun, but not enough. In Sandpoint? Madness.

  17. I want to go park the leakiest oiliest general motors vehicle i can find on this solar powered parking lot

    … … …
    and who is your source that tells you the gateway guy is not reliable? is your source reliable?
