It looks like the future may be paved with solar panels after all. In early August, we told you about an out-of-the-box green tech company, named Solar Roadways, that had the audacious plan to replace America's asphalt roads with textured, glass solar panels that could collect energy, distribute it and simultaneously serve up LED-powered signs (see video below). Sounds like a pipe dream, right? At least that was my first impression--- I wondered how the United States with its shoddy infrastructure (asphalt upkeep is hard enough) and burgeoning deficit could pay the $4.4 million per mile of road (per founder Scott Bursaw's calculations) to fulfill this vision. But I guess I was wrong. The collective web spoke and of the 3,500-plus applicants in GE's Ecomagination Challenge, Solar Roadways won the first Challenge Award and $50,000--- the equivalent of 5, 12'x 12' panels.
