Interesting Concept
By Mark Flippo
The world’s first solar bike lane is soon to be available for use in the Netherlands! The bike path that connects the Amsterdam suburbs of Krommenie and Wormerveer is a 70-meter stretch of solar-powered roadway set to open for the public on November 12th, 2014. The new solar road, which costs €3m (AUD$4.3m), was created as the first step in a project that the local government hopes will see the path being extended to 100 metres by 2016. More complimentary plans are also on the table as the country intends to power everything from traffic lights to electric cars using solar panels. The road, which is named by the Netherlands Organization for Applied Scientific Research as SolaRoad. It is made up of rows of crystalline silicon solar cells, which were embedded into the concrete of the path and covered with a translucent layer of tempered glass.
God is trying to help those that will listen. We need to take care of this planet we call home. We must not be doing a very good job of it. Floods have become very severe. Record snow falls. Tornado's in weird places. If your not paying attention maybe you should. God can help us heal our planet. It sure seems to be crying out in pain the only way it can. Let's work with, not against our world.
