[NSRCA-dist8] wildhorse

[J N Hiller]

OOPS, did it again. That's exactly how I was sucked into and migrated
through mid-management. I've got to learn to shut the ---- up.
Just read in this morning's paper that Solar Roadways inc. (
http://www.solarroadways.com ) received $750,000 from the department of
transportation for real world testing. These panels are being developed for
paving roads and parking lots etc. Sounds like a neat idea but the lights
will likely go out at sun down, however it sounds like a perfect material
and maybe some incentive to install a large runway and parking area in the
middle of nowhere, where the sun shines. It would be interesting to see what
the ROI looks like.
Later
Jim

That sounds like a very good verbage for a proposal....you have to be
careful....you might get elected!   :-)
