Re: Solar Freakin' Roadways!

[tasogare_n_hime]

I don't think the problem will necessarily be a decrease in jobs, I it will be more people being displaced if their jobs are made obsolete, and may just not fit into the new jobs opened up by doing this. But yeah, despite what the video says the job thing is a very legitimate concern.

As a trucker, I freakin' ADORE the idea of roads that would never get ice and snow on them. That alone would be worth the price of admission. My life would be soooo much easier!

This is one of my favorite things about the idea. Think of how many lives that alone would save. Just replacing sidewalks with those would make things so much safer.

Re: Solar Freakin' Roadways!

Yeah, that's it exactly. Some jobs could transfer over pretty easily, but if you are some construction worker who has specialized knowledge in how to pour and grade asphalt, that doesn't translate too well to servicing solar panels and electrical systems. So the feeling of false advertising there bothers me.

I do think that the amount of lives saved and injuries avoided is worth more than some lost jobs though. I always see so many more accidents in winter time. I'm sure emergency responders wouldn't mind being a little less needed!

Re: Solar Freakin' Roadways!

I think that some of those jobs would still transfer over into other kinds of construction, and if they make the effort to funnel those people into training (hopefully subsidized) that will give them the skills to help build the new roadways....

I mean, i 100 percent understand your concern, but I also couldn't justify *not* moving forward on something like this because 'some jobs' will be lost. Some jobs were lost when people stopped using horse and buggy, but nobody wants to go back to those days.

Re: Solar Freakin' Roadways!

[riddian]

Yeah, like I said I think it's worth it! It's the deceptive feeling I get from people pushing for something on the premise that it "creates jobs" that I have trouble with.

Re: Solar Freakin' Roadways!

[tabaqui]

Well, but...it's not deceptive. It *will* create jobs. They just don't talk about the jobs lost, but that's understandable.

Re: Solar Freakin' Roadways!

[riddian]

LOL, it's because I understand exactly why they'd leave it out that it feels so deceptive.
