World's First Solar Road Opens by Samchelsea(m): 3:33pm On Nov 13, 2014
The first road in
the world to convert sunlight into electricity officially
opened in the Dutch town of Krommenie on
Wednesday, November 12.
It's a small patch of a bike path made of modules
that include solar cells
The developer will use it as a test route for three
years
Energy created by the road can power traffic and
street lights or households, officials say

I assume you're angry with them but seriously I believe the advantages of this project far outweighs its disadvantages
