The Ray in Georgia: Demanding More of Roadways
Harriet AndersonLangford, president of The Ray recently had an article featured in the Washington Times. "At The Ray, we demand more and reject the status quo. We start our discussions with “what ifs”: What if the road itself could produce energy? What if highway and interstate shoulders could generate new revenue for state departments of transportation? What if we demanded more of our roadways? At The Ray, we are asking, and answering, those questions."
