This reminded me of another scam...
Solar Freakin’ Roadways!

Building an electric highway is a risky idea until EVs have proven themselves in the unsubsidized markets. And as yet, there are no unsubsidized EV markets to tell us the truth.
All that said, Ford, GM, Mercedes, BMW are pulling back their ambitious plans for EVs. Perhaps they know something that Indiana doesn't.
“Indiana to build highway able to charge electric vehicles while moving”
Indiana Jones? Or one of many with the name “Indiana” (consummated while in Indiana)
OH! Indiana TAXPAYERS! Wait... a “highway project”?
FEDERAL! We will ALL pay.
Just another nail in the coffin of our Republic.
EVs, NO ONE WANTS THEM. We are energy efficient and an EXPORTER of energy. (thank you Donald Trump). We don’t NEED EVs.
What EV is going to haul my 34 ft RV? (and how far if it even could haul it?)
They are going to FORCE us into EVs, electric EVERYTHING stoves, dryers, water heaters, furnaces, lawn mowers, leaf blowers, cars, trucks, busses, trains, airplanes, ships, and whatever I forgot.
WHERE IS THE ELECTRICITY GOING TO COME FROM?
Solar panels? FAIL
Wind farms? FAIL
What electric grid can handle this new load?
NOT OURS!
We could build a new power grid including nuclear power plants.
How many BILLIONS or TRILLIONS would that cost?
HOW LONG would it take to build it?
DECADES!
They are SERIES.
Who would be behind all this madness?
“I’m not saying it’s aliens, but it’s aliens”
The embeded in the road charging cable system creates a magnetic field, and a device in the vehicle picks up the magnetic field and transforms it back to electricity. I think they’ve shown you are not going to get a electricity charge walking on the pavement.
Anyone living in Indiana should immediately move.
Doesn't sound healthy.
I wonder about the level of EMF radiation.
EVs - the new third rail of politics.
I assume it’s inductive charging. Could be a good idea for one lane on major roads if EV become real popular. I wonder how much cancer that high an inductive field would cause. Continuous CT scan level fields or would it be more like MRI.
The “Dunning-Kruger Effect”
EV drivers have trouble charging their EV , watch this guy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77Yo4LpksWM
It was invented in 1985.
The electrical outlet will be cheap, but it's the 30-mile-long extension cord that you'll have to reconnect every 30 miles or less, that will cost a fortune.
That fiasco has the potential to have an ugly ending.
Meanwhile in the real world, the Democrats are deliberately sabotaging the grid. To save the planet, see? Why do you hate the planet? /snicker
A simple solution...We need to replace 574,948 miles of roadways in the U.S. to make EVs more practical.
Wait a second how do they bill you for the charging ? Do you have to pay big time to drive on the road ?
It will kill unsuspecting animals by the thousands.
“Indianapolis-based White Construction “
And just what is the connection to the idiot politicians who are stealing tax dollars to pay for this boondoggle?
