Elon Musk: Solar Energy Could Power Our World a Thousand Times

Elon Musk: Solar energy could power our world a thousand times.

“The world could be powered many times over by solar if you had enough battery capacity to pair it with it. Many times. A thousand [times]. It's literally true.

The amount of energy that reaches the Earth from the sun is staggeringly high. We have this enormous fusion generator in the sky that is lobbing out vast amounts of energy. And I'm talking about just using land area. It's really amazing.”
