China has joined France and the Netherlands in testing solar expressways, opening a one kilometer (0.6 miles) stretch of photovoltaic roadway in Jinan, the capital city of Shandong province
On Thursday, France inaugurated the world's first "solar highway." The one-kilometer (half-mile) long road through the small Normandy village of Tourouvre will generate enough energy to power the town's street lights.
