This article is a followup to another CleanTechnica article: Tesla’s Secret Weapon. The title of this one contains an asterisk, because a more accurate (but too long) title would be “How Tesla, SpaceX, and The Boring Company Will Help Save the World and Reform Capitalism in the Process.” Apologies if the title is clickbaity or bombastic.
The hydrogen economy will be abandoned, for the most part. It will not power any vehicles below the scale of large freight trucks in a few years, and likely not those 18-wheelers either. The fueling stations will be abandoned. The cars will be relegated to museums.
I spoke with documentary filmmaker Susan Kucera about her recent film Living in the Future’s Past, an artistic collaboration with Jeff Bridges and a tapestry of experts on planetary well-being, science, evolution, emergence, energy, psychology, and more. Do watch and listen. Nature changes, our small planet changes, humans, ecosystems, environment, and animals also change — and adapt. Do we humans have the swift adaptation skills necessary for a massive climatic disruption?
It is well known that Elon Musk and Tesla don’t like to conform to established industry standards or feel limited by them. So trying to measure their performance by established industry standards is like measuring them on a scale of bananas, utterly pointless.
On Space Station Earth, there are millions of untrained, careless people, knowing nothing of the intricate balances that maintain the life-support system, creating mayhem and destruction on a daily basis. We obviously need an intensive training program to make all personnel aware of the safety protocols, and to have some idea of how the life-support system on Space Station Earth operates.
This article is for all the CleanTechnica readers that are sick of news about Tesla’s stock price. It is a followup to the article “Musk Didn’t Inhale, and He is a Stable Genius,” which briefly summarized Elon Musk’s appearance on Joe Rogan’s podcast. In the previous article, I stated the long interview would be edited into shorter videos which would echo through the internet and social media for years to come.
When the chips are down, Elon Musk knows how to turn things around. Both Tesla and SpaceX have been through near-death experiences. Yet, somehow, Musk pulled both companies out of dire straits. Musk’s friend, Venture Capitalist Jason Calacanis, explains that entrepreneurs need, “one central thing that is critical, and that’s resiliency.”
Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti announced on Twitter that SpaceX will build the rocket colloquially known as the BFR — which may or may not stand for the Big Falcon Rocket — in Los Angeles.
The climate observatory ASIM (Atmosphere-Space Interactions Monitor) is finally on its way to the International Space Station, ISS, after a year’s delay.
The first complete underwater map of the Antarctic ice sheet finds that it is melting faster than previously thought, presaging a global climate catastrophe.
