IFLScience [iflscience.com] has a blogvertisement [iflscience.com] for a company called Solar Roadways [solarroadways.com], which replaces the decades-old tarmac way of building roads which something far more useful. As well as incorporating a solar power collector, other features such as under-road heating to clear snow, LED lighting to light the way, trunking for stormwater and utilities, and the ability to find broken segments (potholes) instantly.

Obviously it will never work, but why not?
