>>> Rich and well known people can’t win really.
They can, they just need to no interact outside their bubble, make sure they pay their taxes in a fair way (because, you know, the Panama is 100% legal), and do not show up when their not asked to.
Musk is great at building cool toys, but I'm not sure he's great at making humanity better. (hint: we don't need more battery, we don't need to go to Mars, we don't need more cars on the roads, and some people sure don't need a submarine). Now if Elon wants to go in the cave and bring oxygen bottle to those who need it, or explain the kids to never give up, well, that'd be nice.
- atombender 8y agoWe absolutely do need batteries, though. Energy storage on a large scale -- e.g. Tesla's projects in Australia and Puerto Rico -- is going to be hugely important for an all-renewable electric future. Their cars aren't that important.
- toomuchtodo 8y agoThe cars are hugely important. The demand for those is what is driving down the per unit cost of batteries. Without the cars, utility scale storage wouldn’t be financially feasible.
