18、ctricity? It may sound like a crazy science dream, but an electrical engineer and his wife may have found a way to do just that. Scott Brusaw has developed a six-sided glass panel (面板) that contains solar cells, which can change sunlight into electricity. The panels fit together and can - 4 - form a
19、 flat surface on the ground. Brusaw and his wife, Julie, founded a company called Solar Roadways to further develop the idea and produce these new solar panels.

20、 (沥青) with these solar panels, the network would produce more than three times the amount of electricity currently used by the United States in a year. In return, electricity from solar panels doesnt produce harmful pollution, so the panels could be a smart choice for the environment. The U.S. gover
21、nment sees some promise in the Solar Roadways project. A number of laboratories around the country have tested the panels to see if they can withstand (经受) the heavy traffic and rough weather that asphalt pavement suffers from year to year.
