Quote:There's 25,000 square miles of road surface, parking lots and driveways in the lower 48 States. If we covered that with solar panels with a 15% efficiency, we could produce three times as much electricity as this country uses on an annual basis. And that's almost enough to power the entire world.

No way would big construction go for that.

Too much money tied up in repaving the roads every other year.

How much would that cost?! Plus, there would still be the need for upkeep and fixes so I think big construction could adapt.
