How can I make a ice-melting system to install under my asphalt driveway?

Yes but the extra CO2 will cause more global warming wich may eventually
melt the ice on his driveway anyway, thus making the enregy waste self
limiting. unless you live in one of those places where global warming will
make it colder wich would be unlucky.

How about making a robotic driveway clearer ?

Ok group, correct me if I am wrong, but weren't most building codes in the
US ammended to mandate minimum insulation requirements back in the 70s or
so? I thought I recall this was done to force energy conservation in the
construction of new homes and buildings.

Well if so, how can it be considered legal or prudent to allow people to
heat their friggin' parking lots!!!!!!

It is called 'hiding behind your(I mean their) finger" or better, as
Einstein has said "Only two things are infinite, the universe and
human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former."

Wish I had answer...I only have a wild idea:
Conductive asphalt!! :)
Maybe mix in a conductive filler in the asphalt and make a gigantic
power resistor.
(I know this idea is full of flaws..but it's good entertainment :) )

With the right power levels, it will keep them mormons and jehova's witnesses
away for good!

Hmmm... a geothermal driveway deicer? Have a long loop of pipe down
about 12 feet, and pump antifreeze mixture from that to loops under the
driveway. Might even be energy efficient. Just the loop otherwise to
go to your heat pump!
