Solar-powered highway

In December, drive by the I-5 and I-205 interchange in Tualatin and you'll see the nation's first Solar Highway demonstration project. It's a joint effort from PGE, the Oregon Department of Transportation and U.S. Bank. The 104-kilowatt solar photovoltaic system will produce about 28 percent of the electricity used to light the interchange.
