So Cool Solar Highway

After a week of serious topics we thought the tone should be 'lighter' today.

Thanks to Wayne Stetski who brought this to our attention.

"I believe we need to make Cranbrook the Centre For Solar Power Technology for British Columbia given that we are the sunniest city in BC".

This is so cool ! Cranbrook should be home to the Canadian factory to produce and further the development of this technology!

    What a great idea!! But one wonders whether this type of road would be practical in Cranbrook despite its reputation of being the Sun Capital of BC? Between our extremes of weather and frost heaves in the winter/spring, is there any technology that can provide us with decent, durable, environmentally friendly roads?

    The letter from Jim Roberts to the Townsman, Jan. 25, highlights a number of issues including several health-related problems which are a cause for concern, particularly for those who live in and around the Spray Irrigation Fields.

    He raises important questions that need to be addressed and answered by the Mayor and the City!!
