Solar Highways?

My middle brother sent me this video about an R&D project to embed solar panels in highways.  Pretty cool.

But, having watched the video, I do have questions.  Can it be plowed?  Can it be salted?  Is it heated?  These are, however, engineering challenges, to be overcome.

But, we can expect opposition to this idea.  If our fellow citizens are against transitioning to wind power on the Cape, I am sure they can find reasons to be against this.

Of course, there is always nuclear power.
