Technology im much more interested in would be something like using thermal-eletric device plates concreted into road ways. As one person mentioned earlier black asphalt roads tend to get very warm. and the ground underneath somewhat cool. You could get a nice amount of current over and extremely large area like that. And you would'nt have to radicly change the way you construct your roads. Or an even more bold and interesting idea is to use pressure plates that when pressed on by overpassing vehicles would produce a decent amount of energy as well. or maybe both? Oh and neither of these technologies would be anywhere near as prone to damages or breakdown because they are baked in so to speak.
