Elon Musk on Solar 😱😱😱

[dinosspyro]

Elon: you can power the world...
Reporter: Ah yes, California

[lightningwolf]

She has traveled all over the world, to both California AND Europe.

[FielValeryRTS]

Elon: Using kilometres
US: *questions existence*

[hzlkelly]

And this is why Africa should just go full SOLAR. We can't work without energy yet we face so many power outages and cuts. We have been blessed with a continent that has the sun beaming right at us for the most part. We need to take advantage of that.

[Xtasy]

Now, imagine nuclear plants with a flat top full of solar panels. That's efficiency.

[wiggieben]

Hi from Scotland ... this 'sun' he's talking about... tell me more ? 🤔

[onionrings]

Elon: "The world"
Interviewer: "Europe?"

[willeisinga]

Everywhere. I have Rooftop Solar for 12 Years Now in Groningen Nederland. Solar and Heatpump. EV car on Rooftop Solar. 12 years no energybill. The Sun shines also in Europa. Where does the Lady come from? Agree Elon👍

[basgreiner]

I would love to see him build a $44 billion solar power park, instead of buying twitter!

[hyunkwak]

Can we get smarter people with smarter questions to interview Musk

[HarveyG]

Elon: “The world!”
Reporter: “California?”
Elon: “The world!!”
Reporter: “Europe??”
Elon: “The world!!!”
Reporter: “The world???”
Elon: “How many times I gotta say this shit?!”

[Nmber]

Certain areas can be powered solely with solar panels. I could imagine Nations like Spain or Italy being able to do it rather than Sweden or the UK.

[superchargedpetrolhead]

Lie with confidence and the world will believe you....

The largest solar farm in the world is in India "the Badhla solar farm" which occupies 14, 000 acres and produces 2.25 GW of electricity.

The largest nuclear plant is "kashiwazaki kariwa nuclear plant" in Japan which occupies 1000 acres and produces 7.9 GW of electricity.

[Ocious]

*Anyone else randomly just started watching shorts and now it’s just a everyday thing?*

[levyata]

"The sun? In California? I believe that but in Europe? The sun? That's impossible"

[brandonsheffield]

This if from Googles Green energy biased AI Gemini: "Key takeaway: While the solar farm requires more land, it doesn't produce as much power (17, 650 MWh/year vs. a constant 2 GW for the nuclear plant). The nuclear plant uses less land but requires a much more concentrated infrastructure due to the nature of nuclear power generation."

[thekyuwa]

This is total BS.
A nuclear power plant could generate up to 8 GW in 4 km² by using 5 or 6 EPR reactors, with a capacity factor of 94%.
Solar panels are nowhere near these numbers.

[wukwujacic]

Nikola Tesla 120 years ago: “ i can lit every lightbulb in the world, for free, using the force of Niagara Falls”. Nikola Tesla ideas to collect sun’s energy may come to life.

[NazDaRuler]

Can’t believe she was shocked to find out the sun has enough energy to power the planet, imagine when she finds out we have a moon.

Thank you all for 1.6k ❤️❤️❤️💪🏽

[fhuber]

I have some issues with solar of today.

Toxic chemicals used in making the panels is #1.

The efficiency is getting better. But they still don't work at night or on stormy days.

It is idiocy to cut down forests to put up solar. You can put solar over cattle ranches and the cattle like the shade.
