read this riddle:
todays' lithium batteires are the nirvana of nuclear power of the sixties.. |
funny you should mention that, tesla has a fuck load of solar panels mounted and a shit load of windmills coming...theres this tesla wall thing...most house owners will soon have access to cheap panels...battery tech has decreased in price dramatically and will do so in the next 10 years even more...hyperloop will be powered by solar/wind/battery as well...
the lithium is mined only once and last for decades whilst fossil fuels need to be mined and burned every day...less and less is needed with new battery design...cobalt as well...the new solid state batteries last like 30 years...
total fossil cars on the street will shrink dramatically...some predict 75%+...you use your car only 5-10% of the day...when tesla finishes its autopilot it can turn on 750.000 potential taxis...each owner can have his tesla make him money...the ride will be cheaper than with your own fossil car...hyperloop will be cheaper than public transport and much faster...
elon swings a big dick...
