Feeling keen? Go green with Solar Panel Roads! This week’s topic moving on from the economy is all about the environment and what this new technology will do to benefit our planet. As we all know our planet is our friend and we need to look after it now more than ever. Think about how much light surfaces outside get, such as, roads pavements etc. Imagine if while these are getting all of this light, they are providing electricity to your cars or homes. Pair these roads with electric cars and watch the magic happen. In china there is roads in use that provide a charge for electric cars as they drive (Murray 2019), it’s like being on your and you are the charger. Faster way to lower pollution, Covid-19 or Solar Roads? These roads are going to be like setting off an environmental bomb!! Think about it, if people have cars that are charging as they drive, they won’t be using any petrol or diesel which will lead to a decrease in pollution. This pollution will also be decreased as more people will be buying electric cars to use on these roads as they are so ingenious. Therefore, we will see a massive decrease in greenhouse gas emissions similar to what we are seeing in China at the minute with Covid-19 (Cerceda 2020). Let’s be honest here which would you rather be the cause of a greener environment a global epidemic or, an improved mode of transport? I know my answer! “It’s time for the human race to enter the solar system” - Dan Quayle So, after reading this why don’t you go look at what you can do for the environment and help us achieve a cleaner, faster, and, brighter future for us and our next generations.
