Solar freakin' roadways! You can see a small installation in Coeur d'Alene Idaho! And by small installation, I mean a barely-working 100 square foot walkway! It's the future!
Thunderf00t was pretty entertaining before he got TDS and had to jam it into every damn video.
Always trust Saudis to fuck it up. Especially if it's meant to be futuristic.
I think this was meant to be one of those things related to the Great Reset (which seems to at least have been foiled) and it looks like this will become a more futuristic look at dead malls.
I've been over there for work. Corruption is rampant of course, so the contractors that get the job are useless and the slave labor doing the actual work are inept unless a westerner is involved managing things (and Saudis do everything possible to butt into that)
As expected as this failure is, why are we wasting time hating? At least they tried to make something (and failed the same way most other megaprojects fail) but what megaprojects does the west undertake that isn't designed to serve the bankers?
I agree with you. Too many people claim that not trying is better than failing. This is why porn is so ahead in tech than others, they're willing to try.
That's all the way in the Middle East though. I could see a bunch of towels scavenging it's construction site, then turning it into a post apocalyptic bazaar though. Or a Mad Maxhammad base for a terrorist raider gang
Yeah, but I doubt that they can even survive after three generations of growing obese on oil wealth and depending on indentured servants for everything. Maybe it'll be rediscovered after the desert becomes a grassland post-nuclear winter.
even if it was completed. it'd be a giant unfunctional ugly mess.
Wow, who could have guessed that this obviously unbuildable pipe dream would inevitably fail, except for everyone but Saudi oil billionaires?
Don't forget the YouTube retards who hyped up this idiocy. Like the Solar Highways.

He went so far off the deep end it's actually terrifying.

Tried to ...?
This was fairly clearly an elite few siphoning off billions into construction contracts that never need to be delivered.

Mark its location on navigation anyway, might be abandoned and forgotten - perfect place for salvage once shit hits the fan.

It'd probably end up being a bird killer anyway
