Documetary+Review

This documentary review is of a YERT video of Your Environmental Road Trip created by Matt Dixon and Ben and Julie Evans in 2007. The presenter is Scott Brusaw who is the co-inventor and project manager for Solar Roadways. The theme song is by Brooks White. It can be found on Vimeo Channel or at YERT.com.

This documentary is a presentation made by the co-inventor Scott Brusaw explaining Solar Roadway's invention. Scott and his wife were born in Idaho. They came up with this idea when they were kids and they wished the road was powered with electricity so they could drive their race cars on it. They believe this invention can help solve the problem of global warming and save on the cost of electricity.

I believe this video was made to tell people about the potential of this new invention and how it can help solve our electricity problems. The video is well put together and explains this technology in a way regular people can understand. It uses some animation to explain it's concepts. The video ends with a quote from the following quote by Thomas Edison in 1931 "I'd put my money on the sun and solar energy. What a source of power! I hope we don't have to wait until oil and coal run out before we tackle it." It is interesting to note that Edison in 1931 was promoting the use of sun and solar energy and in 2007 this video is also promoting what appears to be a clever way to harness solar energy. It is now 2010 and we still do not harness very much of the sun. I encourage you to take a look as this is an interesting concept.

Well written Ben. You were to add a link or embed the video.
