Solar Energy in Transportation – What is it?
    -  We researched using solar energy to improve transportation methods
    -  Solar energy is currently being developed to provide solar roadways, cars, 
       buses, and even planes
    -  Solar reduces waste and harmful gases into the environment
    -  Helps make transportation more efficient

         Relevance of Solar Energy in Transportation
 - Using solar energy pollutes the air much less 
   than emissions from cars
 - Fossil fuels aren’t unlimited and the sun is 
   never-ending energy source
 - Creating solar powered transportation will result 
   in a major amount of jobs being created 
   compared to other industries

            Renewable circles show annual energy potential, while the fossil fuel and nuclear 
                            energy circles are representing total known reserves.

         Relevance of Solar Energy in Transportation
    -  Would heavily impact everyone involved with the oil and gas companies as 
       they would not be required to be open anymore
    -  Many gas stations would need to be converted to charging stations which 
       creates new jobs
    -  The price of an average solar powered car is estimated to be about 
       $200,000. While people would save on gas, it would be a large upfront 
       investment

           History of Solar Powered Transportation
    - Research teams have been designing cars with built in solar panels to 
      generate energy that powers the cars engine
    - A solar team, Solar Team Eindhoven, has designed a solar powered car that 
      seats four people
    - The car is so energy efficient that it can generate more energy than it uses to 
      drive, over the course of a year
