scott: We have a manufacturer


in Dayton, Ohio, under contract.


They’re buying equipment now so


they can do 1,000 solar panels a day.


We have another potential manu-


facturer in various areas of contract


negotiation. The idea is to have a lot


of manufacturers out there crank-


ing these panels out as fast as we


can because I think we’ve got a time


clock on our planet.


In your wildest dreams, what do


you see the world being like in 20


years if you’re successful?


scott: Covered in solar roadways.


julie: And it seems like the world


is moving towards the autonomous


electric vehicle, and perhaps people


won’t own cars anymore. They will


just call for an autonomous vehicle


when they need to go somewhere,


and they can get a small car if it’s just


them or a large car if they’re taking


a bunch of people. Those things will


help the planet in so many ways. Our


focus is how do we help the planet


become sustainable, and that’s what


keeps us going every day.


GLOW IN THE DARK The Brusaw’s solar panels


turn sunlight into electricity and also power their


own built-in LEDs for nighttime illumination.
