Padders Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Football clubs have undersoil heating, this enables them to play football matches whatever the weather... Surely we could have on the main roads underground heating. This of course would take a few days to install, but the disruption would be worth it. If proved to be a great success, it could be extended to minor roads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meltman Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Good idea Padders, should be simple and quick to install . I first saw it in Stavangar (Norway) where it shifted about a foot of snow on footpaths quite easily. I can't see a problem can you? Oh, just had a thought...who pays for the electricity and do we have some spare when the wind isn't blowing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My idea would save money, ie- no gritting required. Over a few winters this scheme would actually save money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It worked fine for a while then the pipes burst and the road got flooded and then froze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually Chekhov did attain the rank of Captain & commanded 3 separate starships under the rank before becoming an instructor at the academy, eventually retiring as a Grand Admiral * not a star trek nerd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
