Yeah that's it, Solar Roadways. It had a lot of hype 10 or 1...

I looked it up anyway... :) https://www.extremetech.com/cars/183130-solar-roadways-passes-1-4-million-in-crowdfunding-just-short-of-the-56-trillion-r...

Yeah that's it, Solar Roadways. It had a lot of hype 10 or 15 years ago, then suddenly everyone insisted it wouldn't work, and I never saw any kind of reasons why suddenly it wouldn't work.

I'll buy the argument that it takes more energy to make than they repay, which is definitely the case with wind power, but that doesn't necessarily mean they cost more oil than they displace, and I'm not sure that's even a worthwhile goal anyways.

Supply chain issues are just regulation problems. The supply chain to produce a pickup truck can't be less complicated, but we have no problems getting pickup trucks. Tbh, it seems like some oligarch decided to stomp on it.
