I was reminded of The Doors' When the Music's Over. It has, I think, one of the first ever references to climate change - or at least our greedy use of the Earth's resources.
What have they done to the earth? What have they done to our fair sister? Ravaged and plundered and ripped her and bit her Stuck her with knives in the side of the dawn And tied her with fences and dragged her down |

Another great article on the utility transition that is taking place now.

One of the best ways I've seen this explained.
Shared that video, because Elon's explanation leads to what Exxon is now wanting: [Only registered users can see links.] |

There are so many negative articles on Tesla right now, the people who are shorting the stock trying to make it go down, that I haven't bothered to post any because it's all bullshit.
But THIS, this is a great article with great timing: [Only registered users can see links.] Quote:

Remember what I said about the inevitable transition of the grid to renewable energy because of the economics five posts up (#104)?

That's pretty awesome. Forgot that renewables would eventually be more cost effective than upgrading old facilities. Surprised it started already, I guess. Good stuff.

![]() If anyone has seen headlines about Tesla wanting to buy SolarCity, this is why. Tesla wants to become THE energy company for residential and utility - buy your car, panels, and battery storage from one place. Those that see where we are headed with the transportation and grid understand this merger, those that do not are shouting at the rooftops with negative articles. |

Just like with the transition to EVs and a renewable grid, so will be autonomous driving:

I'm sure this will be a hot topic politically, but I think it will be inevitable.....at least on major roads and highways. |

Great 15 minute speech from CEO of SolarCity, Lyndon Rive, on the where the future is headed with solar and storage and how the economics of it all out weighs the old way the grid is set up.

I want you guys to understand why I'm so adamant about Tesla and the transition to sustainable transportation. The Tesla Gigafactory opens tomorrow and the press got to visit it yesterday.
Here is a great article on it and one key point I would like to highlight to show everyone why Tesla is the leader in this transition: [Only registered users can see links.] Quote:
