1. A roadway system for energy generation and distribution, comprising:
a plurality of ground-based wind energy generating devices;
a plurality of roads; and
a roadway system electricity grid electrically connected to a utility grid and configured to distribute electricity to direct power loads and the utility grid;
wherein the ground-based wind energy generating devices are electrically connected to the roadway system electricity grid and positioned effectively near the roads to thereby allow energy generation from wind created from passing vehicles in addition to energy generation from atmospheric wind.
