Associated Press
(ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., AP) — Route 66, a highway made famous for attracting gas-guzzling Chevrolet Bel Airs traveling from Chicago to Los Angeles, is turning green.

Illinois is installing a network of electric vehicle charging station from Lake Michigan to the Mississippi River.
And earlier this year, Missouri’s highway department announced it was eying a project to cover a portion of its Route 66 with road-ready solar panels.
