What is the point of having coils in the roadway as well. A normal high voltage AC tension cable is sufficient. Yes, the rest of the physics is like that, the field decreases according to the formula and if it is too powerful it would fry the rest of the electronics and electrical engineering in the car. Everything has to be protected... I see only problems to implement, except in the heads of some crazy and greedy scientists, corporations and politicians to create another Frankenstein.
The reason that I proposed coils is magnetic flux. The simplistic answer is that the higher the flux density the more energy that can be transferred from one coil to another. While a straight length of wire does produce a magnetic field, it's orders of magnitude too low of a flux to adequately power vehicles...where the simple laws of physics would prevent the coils from being very close together. Think car suspensions, roadway imperfections, and a gap you cannot overcome because the roadway coil would have to be buried under some distance of asphault or concrete to prevent damage due to regular surface wear.
To be fair though, I pulled numbers squarely from my butt. It's likely that the flux density would need much tighter or consecutively wound coils to be high enough....but a trillion dollars is stupidly expensive enough for most rational people to look at the idea and agree that the technical and monetary challenges make it a non-starter.
Except that green means better people's health (lower expenses for medicines, hospitals and the like) because less pollution, and renewables actually saves you from the dead end when the oil will be depleted.

You are missing the rest of the quote, and therefore are projecting a strawman onto my argument.
I don't see solar roadways...because they are a technological dead end.
I don't see hydrogen cars, because the materials science isn't there yet.
I see battery cars because the technology is proven...and the economics of manufacturing and scale make them viable.
You...seem to want to argue that solar energy is better... I call your bluff. According to our sources it is better...but our sources assume that most solar isn't made in China...where European and Western manufacturing makes them truly green. Well, the only green thing in China is the cuprous oxide in the water as a waste product. Pollution doesn't get to be ignored.
I do like the false equivocation though. All of the solar hitting Earth is a big number. Of course, that covers mostly oceans, uninhabited areas, and conveniently assumes we could collect all of it at 100% efficiency. All of these assumptions are garbage in, garbage out. I'm not here to say green is bad...like you want to imply. I'm stating that people want to do good, and it's easy to snooker them with faux green energy rhetoric.
If you want to argue, then explain:
1) No hyperloop.
2) No Tesla trucks....years after the promise date.
3) No Nikola electric trucks.
4) No Theranos magic blood machine.
5) No commercial space flight for the masses...or rocket powered flight which dwarfs the speed of commercial flight.
Most of that is one man making promises about science he cannot really make happen. He promises technical wizardry...that the merest thought proves stupid. An air hockey table inside a hundred mile long vacuum tube that would have to pull such a low pressure area that you couldn't have an air hockey table...yep. Glass panels as a road surface...yep. Hydrogen as the cure to all ICE ails...without the materials science to make it work yet...yep. Heck, green is great. LED lightbulbs, smart power grids, high efficiency power transfer, and a million other tangible technologies in the green space are great. Thing is electric energy is still produced from pressure. Pressure made by a heat source boiling water to turn an electric generator. If you're going to pretend green cars run off a mostly fossil fuel or damaging copper extraction process is good then you got fleeced. That said though, it's always fun for people to misquote and build a strawman that they then use to expose their own intellectual biases on. Like shooting irrational fish in a crazy barrel...whilst two feet over you've got a thousand gallon tank with a tropical fish assortment that would better serve your politics.
