Solar Roadways Project Doesn’t Generate Enough Electricity to Run a Hair Drier

Finally, a return on investment for all of our money that Big Government has been wasting on flaky green energy boondoggles. From Idaho:

The Solar FREAKIN’ Roadways project generated an average of 0.62 kilowatt hours (kWh) of electricity per day since it began publicly posting power data in late March. To put that in perspective, the average microwave or blow drier consumes about 1 kWh per day.

All they have to do is double output and they could completely cover the energy needs of an average blow drier.

Of course, politically righteous energy doesn’t come cheap:

Solar FREAKIN’ Roadways has been in development for 6.5 years and received a total of $4.3 million in funding to generate 90 cents worth of electricity.

But at least the polar bears know that we mean well.

The project broke down in late March and had to be repaired, and screenshots taken that month show the roadway’s electrical box caught fire.

Let’s hope a minimal amount of carbon was emitted.
