No one's said anything about the cost yet! Yes it's a great idea but imagine the cost of covering just one dual carriageway for one mile with these panels. I pay a fortune in road tax already, and yet the roads in this country are in a terrible state. And apart from the initial start-up and production costs for these panels, what kind of resources are going to be needed to power the equipment that makes the tiles? Once the whole world is coated with them we'll be sitting pretty power-wise, but until then, how are we going to produce them? What's the cost? What's the logistics of covering every road with them? It's pie in the sky stuff.

People in the West are giving every concern to living more sustainably and it annoys me when people say no one cares about us living sustainably. If people want to get all bent out of shape about saving the planet, go and have a look at India and China, see the amount of sh1t they're pumping straight into the stratosphere with no regard to what they're doing, while I can't use a light bulb that isn't energy efficient and pay God knows how much in green taxes, including the most expensive petrol in Europe, maybe the world! Have a word with the Chinese and the Indians and tell them to shape up too.
