Route 66 Is Going Solar

Route 66 is getting an upgrade. Missouri is putting in "a set of energy-generating photovoltaic pavers along a section of the famous highway-the first such panels on a public right of way in the U.S."

The company Solar Roadways, created by Scott and Julie Brusaw developed street pavers. They raised over $2.2 million in "crowdfunding in 2014 to bring their technology to market." Missouri's transportation department is creating their own crowdfunding campaign "to support their energy experiment and expects the hexagonal solar panels to be fully installed and operational by the end of the year."

I think putting in solar panels on Route 66 is a great idea. Route 66 is headed in the right direction.
