Ray Kurzweil projects the U.S. will meet
. . . 100% of its electrical energy needs from solar in 20 years.
Elon Musk is a bit more conservative, pegging it at
. . . 50% in that timeframe.
Either way, if Ray and Elon are even close, there is a
. . . trillion dollars up for grabs.
What's driving this?
. . . 1) The cost of solar panels is dropping exponentially.
. . . 2) Energy Storage Mechanisms Are Improving Rapidly.
. . . 3) Electric Vehicles (EVs)
