We're talking about hundreds of billions of dollars to do something like this. There is also the little problems we have with current solar technology. Solar cells have about a 20-30 year life expectancy and decrease their output each year until eventually they produce nothing. So with our current technology we would have to replace all of the solar cells every 20 years. Having said that, I can see where this idea would be very cool for homeowners replacing driveways, decks and sidewalks with solar cells if the cost was less than putting them on a roof. It all comes down to affordability regardless if you are a homeowner or the US government. Awards

Here is a video that explains it all if you want to spend 30 minutes watching it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=obS6TUVSZds Mule 1 Awards

I'd be on that in a heartbeat...unfortunately big oil owns the USA and will prolly never let it happen here. True, the world economy is oil based and they are very powerful. But if we went from an oil to solar based economy, the makers of solar cells and those who control the electricity created by them would own the world just like the oil companies do now. We're fucked either way. TBB 1 Awards
