A Dutch company called Ooms Avenhorn Holding BV has developed a system which aborbs energy coming from the sun through the asphalt. One Road Energy System is installed in the village of Avenhorn and it stretches on 200 yards of a read, enough for powering a 70-unit four-story building.Another system is installed on an 160,000 industrial park in the city of Hoorn which is heated during winter and cooled during summer. The power comes with the help of 36,000 square feet of pavement.
In a few years, after we realize the importance of using the endless solar power, maybe we will start to use more and more of its enormous potential. The first step to a greener world is to make use of renewable energy and the most important source is the sun.

Is this for real?
How much does such a system cost?
Its hard to believe its for real…if it is and is even 5x more expensive than traditional energy sources then it would be great.
First of all even if its expensive you are not sending your hard currency abroad.
