Taking inspiration from South Korea, Anand Mahindra, the Indian billionare businessman and chairman of the Mahindra group, proposed installing solar panels over a cycling lane that runs between expressways.
Mahindra on his Twitter feed wrote, “What an idea, Sirji”. He further added, “We have been doing similar things by covering the canal, but this would substantially increase coverage. It is worth looking at even if cyclists do not use expressways… and who knows, maybe it will kick off a recreational cycling boom.”
At the end of the caption, Mahindra tagged the Minister of Transport and Highways in India. Nitin Gadkari.
The idea has the potential to change the way we perceive the concepts of energy and transportation.
