White males create street lights powered by people walking and driving

Women and blacks don't become the engineers and businessmen and scientists that give us our fantastic technology. And yet liberals love to attack white males.!!!

Las Vegas has an interesting new way to power its street lights

march 28 2016 Las Vegas is a city built on hopes, dreams, and a little bit of crazy. That attitude carried to the City by millions of optimistic gamblers every year seems to be rubbing off on City officials.

Las Vegas is moving to start replacing its conventional city street lights with kinetic powered street lights. Clean-tech start-up EnGoPLANET is set to install the lights in Las Vegas’ Boulder Plaza in what might be the first such installation of the technology in the world.

The basic idea behind the lights is simple. The lights are power by kinetic pads installed into the surface area in front of the lights (sidewalks, and potentially in the future roads). As people walk on the pads or even cars and bicycles drive over them, the kinetic energy from the pads is transformed into electric energy that powers the lights. Solar panels on top of the lights help to provide additional power and motion sensors ensure that the lights are only operating when needed. The lights also include various sensors to monitor air quality, water detection, traffic patterns, and video surveillance.

Damn liberals inventing their alternate energies

There are very few instances of kinetic energy being used as a significant source of power (

Yup - hydroelectric power does not exist.
