Then there's another question that comes to mind: is there even enough copper in the world to put induction coils under every road?
History shows us that they had enough copper to lay LOT's of under-sea telegraph cables across ALL the oceans back in the early 1900's, so I wouldn't worry about the Gooberment demanding that we give up all our Penny's to be melted down for highway electrification (wink,wink).
