Technically it doesn't have to be metal, but the right kind of metal gets you better energy transfer. You can use any semiconductor or conductor you like. Fun fact, human beings are semiconductors.

I'm not sure about the other states, but Maine was a forerunner of this. LBJ's wife led a movement to ban billboards in Maine after she visited and didn't want to see billboards poo poo up the scenery.

I mean there is 40+ miles of road that people from the mat-su valley drive each direction every work day to Anchorage that would be prime for billboards, but p much everyone up here hates even the thought of the idea.

I have to imagine just how few people would actually see it probably is an issue. Like if you're just advertising to the 20 people who drive that road every day that doesn't seem a good use of money.

Anchorage and the Mat-Su valley are the most densely populated area in the state, carrying a little over half the state's population in two contiguous boroughs. There are few high-paying jobs in the valley, but housing and general cost-of-living is much lower than in Anchorage, so a very large percentage of the valley commutes into Anchorage every day.

To make it even more frustrating for those commuters, there is only one highway you can take to make it into the city, and no backstreets to cut through or shortcuts to take. If an 18 wheeler jackknifes on the highway it becomes a parking lot with backups sometimes exceeding 10 miles long.

Lifehack: build and run a railway.

Alaska rail is all based on industrial, rather than light-rail commuter. There are lines that run from Anchorage to all the way to the biggest three towns in the valley, but most of the rail bypasses those towns because it can go on a much better maintained track kept up purely for capitalism. The lines into Wasilla/Palmer/Willow/Sutton are all 50+ years old and limited down to 10mph at some points. I took a train from Anchorage to Palmer a couple years ago, and the whole process took about 2.5 hours. Another Big Problem(TM) is the fact that the rail yard is just off downtown, and these folks would all need to be bussed to their workplaces in a 10sq mile radius from there, and our bus system is notoriously garbage. Yes AK could have fixed this and gone in a different direction, but the time for that was the late 1970's when there was rarely any commuter traffic from the valley :ironicat:

spookykid gave you a good correction, but as someone who lives on said road, even a hundred miles out traffic is rather more like 100 cars an hour. That was a guess based on my feelings about how much road noise I experience, but the DOT website says annual average daily traffic in my vicinity is about 2500 to 3000 cars. While the Parks is, in fact, some lovely two-lane blacktop in the middle of nowhere, it also happens to be the main passenger and cargo artery in the state.
