Its raised over 1.5 mn dollars, the video has over 7 mn hits, and its complete BS on soooo many levels. This debunking is already devastating, and its not finished or polished yet!! Hoping to have it up tomorrow or Saturday. Again, MANY thanks for your support here.

I'm very intrigued to see your take on this as I was an inch away from donating money to this. Can't wait to see the video. Btw, are you going to address #YesAllWomen in your next video after this one? I think it may tie in nicely if you decide to do a video debunking Laci Green's feminist ideologies.

I am equally intrigued. You're clearly a supporter of nuclear energy, so your criticisms of this thing are going to be discarded by some folks, but assuming the upcoming video is based on sound, resonating logic, I'll be sharing. 'Cause nothing bugs me more than dishonesty, so if you can kind of separate in your video the impossible from the improbable or impractical, it'll give viewers a clear idea of where they should stand.

Super glad someone is trying to do a proper debunking. I keep telling my friends they promise more than you can get with traditional solar panels on your roof.. How will that generate enough power to pay for itsself? and the answer is MORE AREA! Uhhh, how does that help? We have gigantic deserts of area for solar panels, we're not stressed for places to put them..

I hoped you'd debunk this. Can't wait for the video!

How could low voltage DC be transmitted the distances necessary? And, we're supposed to have two cable vaults per roadway dug for hundreds of thousands of miles? And finally, FUCK the light pollution. As it is, I live in a small town in the desert, and I can't see the Milky Way.

I think if you're going to retrofit something to roads you could do a lot better than retrofitting illumination to them.

As much as I love seeing new inventions and ideas, I love it even more to see those inventions and ideas debunked >:3

I've got nothing against the idea in principle, but I can't see how they can match the durability and strength of... well.. rock. Solar freaking driveways and footpaths maybe... but roads? And how much solar energy is going to be lost through the surface material? There is already solar powered road illumination but the lights are protected by a raised metal shrouds, in areas of the road not normally driven over, and the light housing itself is not load bearing. They look friggin cool at night, I'll say that. Roads are expensive but I think making them out of ipads might be a little too expensive.

yeah... this is the primary problem. Glass is fundamentally a soft material compared to the aggregate put into black top. Opaque glass will have lousy optical and physical properties, both as a coating for a solar cell, and a road surface.
