the most insane idea anyone ever proposed is here (I think)

[Kredai]

cover the nations highways with pizeo electric crystals-about where the
wheel lanes are- then have the crystals supply electricity to
streetlights..

HOWS THAT FOR INSANE!!!

seriously, any thoughts anyone? they work by compression and release, -cars
running them over could do that- and generate a spark, this could be fed
into a capacitor setup.. and provide juice on a supplemental level..maybe
power a city??

Another bizarre suggestion

That would take a lot of quartz...making very little power. The amount of
current that one would get would be extremely small. In other words it
would not work.

Two words: gasoline leak?

I'm not sure you'd get enough amperage to produce a good spark. In any event,
it wouldn't be any worse than the ped head conduits, phone lines, and misc.
other underground facilities that are already under the road.
