http://pizzamas.com I think we sometimes get stuck thinking that the only worthwhile solutions are the solutions that solve everything all at once. Certainly that's very exciting, and it would be very cool if we could get some of those for, like, transportation and medicine and democracy, but instead, it's mostly a bunch of work of lots of individuals doing small things that ends up making the world better. I get very skeptical when big simple solutions are proposed to me, and I think you should as well.

A lot of people have done great work showing that solar roads are a bad idea. This video actually came out DURING the 2014 campaign, which is amazing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=obS6TUVSZds

And the same guy took a (maybe a bit excessively gleeful!) look at the failure of a large-scale installation in france: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dM50P4K9UVk
