It’s pretty impressive, but still it looks like the light passing through isn’t enough for someone to, say, read a book. How about the costs of it compared to regular concrete?

This has got to cost sooo much money!

Well, I was just thinking about that. If it takes a lot of energy to make something, but then that product saves a ton of energy throughout its lifetime, then I’d consider it a green product. I think Litracon falls into that category.

This is pretty cool, but there’s no way that concrete should ever be considered a green product. Making the stuff requires enormous amounts of energy.
