Solar Freakin' Railways

[silverkitty23]

Increases cost of railways to include batteries, copper plate, some green, and a couple red circuits.
Claims to provide power and include signalling in the railways themselves.
Does not actually work.

Every few hours a new tech level opens - and says this donationresearch will make it work this time. Nags you in the console to research it every few minutes until you do.
Still doesn't work.

After 20 levels of research, claims the Oil industry put it down, disappears with all tech, entities and items and it's like it never existed.

It seems like only a year ago, but I guess it was a couple years ago (dunno, my 40s are slipping by sooooo fast) that Everyone On Any Kind of Social Media was pushing Solar Freakin' Roadways on me, or pushing one of the debunk videos/links. I guess I'm glad for you that you missed the hype train.

Didn't noticed it since today.
Thanks for this enlightment.

I guess the joke would've been funnier if you had shared my experience with everyone bugging me about it on Facebook (either trying to get me to donate, or telling me how it could never work), and then it just seeming to disappear into nothing.
