Elon Musk decides that awesome cars, going to space isn't enuf

June 17, 2014 by Paul Spoerry 4 Comments

he's going to tackle Climate Change too
Happy #FourthOfJuly  ya'll…. Musk says his plans include:
* Build factories "an order of magnitude" bigger than the plants that currently churn out panels
* Make #solar  panels that are more efficient, and make them at a low cost in huge factories in order to reduce the overall cost of solar electricity.
* Future factories would produce 10 gigawatts worth of panels 
* Oh he's going to make them nice looking too!

About Paul Spoerry

I’m a groovy cat who’s into technology, Eastern Thought, and house music. I’m a proud and dedicated father to the coolest little guy on the planet (seriously, I'm NOT biased). I’m fascinated by ninjas, the Internet, and anybody who can balance objects on their nose for long periods of time.

I have a utility belt full of programming languages and a database of all my knowledge on databases... I practice code fu. Oh, I've also done actual Kung Fu, and have a black belt in Tae Kwon Do.

I run. I meditate. I dance. I blog at PaulSpoerry.com, tweet @PaulSpoerry, and I'm here on Google+.

I'm currently work for IBM developing web enabled insurance applications for IBM and support and develop a non-profit called The LittleBigFund.

    I imagine he's going to eventually develop all the technology everyone else isn't, to enable his red-planet retirement. 🙂

    oh, look, a major entrepreneur investing in large scale solar production.
    I cant wait to see this called socialist by climate change deniers.

    Clearly he IS a socialist +Thomas Wrobel he opened sourced all the Tesla stuff. Capitalists don't do that sort of thing!

    good point. Enlightened self interest is just socialism in disguise, after all.
