I met Scott Brusaw, founder of Solar Roadways (Score 2, Interesting)

A couple of colleagues and I personally visited and interviewed Scott Brusaw, founder of Solar Roadways, at his home in Idaho. He's a great guy, down to earth, smart, humble, and interested in doing the right thing. It seemed that he's simply following his nose on this and is constantly looking for reasons why it won't work. Then he talks to experts and, at least so far, has been able to discount enough of the "why it won't work" arguments that he still thinks it is worthwhile to keep going. I have to be honest, when I traveled to Idaho to interview him, I didn't know what I'd find-- perhaps some crazy scientist? Or a hermit? Neither were true. He's an absolute upstanding citizen and I really enjoyed meeting him. The kind of guy you'd like to have as a teacher to your kids. Knowing Scott, I expect that he'll examine this entire thread and gradually figure out answers to all of the previously unanswered questions, then post them to his website. I've posted the interview that the YERT team (of which I'm a member) created from that interview. I think it gives a solid summary of how the whole thing works, and gets into some of the financial aspects as well, not to mention a cool 3D computer animation of the Solar Roadways. And, of course, you'll get a sense of the "down to earth" nature of Scott, too. I hope you enjoy... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3PeSm6_hTE Best, Mark YERT.com Co-Founder Your Environmental Road Trip
