Route 66 Solar Road - Geeky KOOL

Back in 2014, we posted about Solar Roadways and their Indiegogo fundraiser. They raised over $2.2 Millions to bring their technology to harvet solar energy from roadways and parking lots. Two years later, Solar Roadways are seeing the fulfillment of their vision. They have started laying their energy-generating photovoltaic pavers along the right away and shoulders of the most famous road in the United States, Route 66.

The State of Missouri decided to green light this project with Solar Roadways. They will create their own Crowdfunding project to help pay for this project. If this project goes as hoped, this could revolutionize the use of the highway system and power industry.

We might get our power along with our kicks on Route 66!
