Detroit is Building a Wireless Charging Road to Charge Battery-Powered Cars Without StoppingThe first wireless charging road system in America will be built in Detroit, Michigan. An announcement from the state further detailed that the Michigan Department of Transportation awarded the project to Electreon, an electric vehicle solutions firm.The company will construct a one-mile road open to the public that can charge battery-powered vehicles as they traverse through the roads in real-time. There is no specific location chosen for the construction, but this special road will be built somewhere in Detroit. The project aims to boost the usage of electric vehicles and to lower consumer costs. According to Governor Gretchen Whitmer, the wireless in-road charging system “is the next piece to the puzzle for sustainability.” Image credit:  Electreon#Detroit #Michigan #roads #electronicvehicles #wirelesschargingroad

Subpar Parks: Artist Amber Share Turned 1-Star Reviews of National Parks Into Glorious Works of ArtOne man's trash is another man's treasure. This is what artist Amber Share showed us when she made art out of dispiriting 1-star online reviews on various national parks in the United States.In an Instagram account named "Subpar Parks," Share posted her original artwork based on the reviewers' account of the parks' "unimpressive" features. For example, how someone described that the Grand Canyon was simply "a hole. A very, very large hole," that the dunes in the Indiana Dunes Park "are not that high," or that the Petrified Forest National Park was "basically a desert with some dead trees."Share's artistic venture was quite a success, with her Instagram account having reached more than 300K followers.#nationalpark #GrandCanyon #AmberShare #SubparParks
