There could be capacitators on the sides so that any excess energy could be (re)captured. They could be hooked up to massive capacitators attached to the main powergrids so that the roads could provide clean energy. Solar panel roads + wireless energy

I wrote about "WiTricity" some time ago, and the idea I had was of <em>ambient</em> power — the moment you walk into a building, or a designated area, your gadgets begin to recharge. I think that time will come. But I also think there's a good chance that those same gadgets will be powered by a whole variety of other means, too... Hi Jerad!

I think that time will come. But I also think there’s a good chance that those same gadgets will be powered by a whole variety of other means, too…

There are quite a few innovative green techniques that I've never come across. I think the most impressive technology on the list for me has to be wireless power. There are just so many of these harebrained schemes to continuously power all of your mobile devices and needs. I think the focus should be distribution when it comes to an applied technological concept while R&D needs to stick with the more exotic forms of electricity. Let's just say I have more faith in not having to plug in my laptop because its powered wirelessly versus plugging my laptop into a small cup of seawater. Call me crazy?

LOL I've been planning this article for a while, so I'm glad you like it. I know the eclectic mix of topics I write about might turn some people off, but I just don't neatly fit into an one niche. My diversity is my longevity... I’m a man of varied tastes, what can I say?! LOL

I'm passing it on. Thanks. Ok Wayne, is there anything you DONT know? *-)
