Elon Musk: If you covered the entire cleared area around a nuclear power station with solar panels, the solar panels would often produce more electricity than the nuclear plant itself. “If you take a nuclear power station and the whole clear area that's around it, it ends up being quite a bit of land. If you carpeted that land with solar panels, which would generate more, the nuclear power station or the solar panels? And usually, it's the solar panels. Now of course, you could always amp up the nuclear power station, but just taking the way things currently are, that's sort of an interesting data point. It's just to give you a sense of how much energy is hitting the Earth from the sun.” From: Interview at the EEI Annual Convention, June 11, 2015

ELON: EARTH WILL BE POWERED LIKE SATELLITES — WITH SOLAR AND BATTERIES “Satellites are just solar panels and a battery. That's how all satellites work. And with the Starlink satellite network, there's 7,000 satellites orbiting the Earth, and all they use is solar panels and a battery. And my prediction is, long term, a majority of power on Earth, in fact, eventually it might be like 90% or more of all power on Earth will be solar panels with batteries.” Source: Tesla All-Hands, March 2025

ELON: THE WORLD CAN BE POWERED ENTIRELY BY SOLAR AND BATTERIES “The energy that reaches the Earth from the Sun is staggeringly high. We have this enormous fusion generator in the sky that is lobbing out vast amounts of energy. If you take a nuclear plant, took its current output and compared that to putting solar panels on the area used by the nuclear power plant. The solar panels would typically generate more power than the nuclear power plant.” Source: Elon Musk

California has built one of the largest solar fleets in the world. Panels are strewn across deserts, rooftops and valleys, costing taxpayers billions of dollars. It was promised as the power of the future. Then the duck curve hit. Solar floods the grid during the height of the day, far more than California can use, so operators are forced to dump gigawatts of power. Then the sun sets and solar output collapses to zero, just as evening demand spikes. California then scrambles to fire up gas plants to keep the lights on,with billions more spent on this backup generation. The world's solar capital ends every day running on fossil fuels. A 24-7 gas grid would cost far less to construct and maintain than solar, and it would actually work 24-7.

ELON: WE COULD POWER ALL OF EARTH WITH SOLAR AND BATTERIES “We already have a giant fusion reactor in the sky called the sun that shows up every day. I always say, if you want to know what standing in front of a fusion reactor feels like, just go out and stand in front of the sun. Just walk outside. That's what a giant fusion reactor feels like because that's what the sun is. It converts about four and a half million tons of mass to energy every second and requires no maintenance. It's amazing. You don't have to refuel it, you don't have to maintain it, it's just there. So my recommendation for fusion is solar power and batteries. We can easily power all of Earth with just photovoltaics and batteries. I mean, not easily, but there's a very clear path to do so and no miracles required, just work.” Source: WSJ Interview, May 23, 2023

In Alberta, they slapped 35,000 sq ft of solar panels on a building, and made it look like a painting. Now it cuts $80K off the power bill and keeps 150 tonnes of carbon out of the air every year.

If emissions reduction were the real goal, nuclear would already dominate. First off, it is the safest energy source per unit of power produced. Secondly, it has the lowest life cycle CO2 emissions, lower than coal, gas and even wind and solar. Thirdly, nuclear runs 93% of the time. Wind and solar don't come anywhere near that, just 33% and 23% respectively. And on top of all that, a one gigawatt nuclear plant fits on about one square mile and powers 750,000 homes. Wind and solar require vastly more land, materials and backup batteries for the same power. If climate alarmism were serious, the answer would be nuclear.

🇺🇸 PARKER SOLAR PROBE TANKS A SOLAR EXPLOSION LIKE A CHAMP NASA’s Parker Solar Probe just did the intergalactic version of walking through a volcano... and survived. It flew straight through a coronal mass ejection, a.k.a. the sun throwing a giant flaming tantrum of plasma. Scientists say it's like scooping up a chunk of the sun and hurling it across space. Casual. The probe’s built like a tank with a heat shield, so it didn’t melt into space goo. This helps scientists figure out how to stop solar rage from wrecking our Wi-Fi, satellites, or entire power grids. Next up, the probe will zoom to 430,000 mph and get within 3.9 million miles of the sun. Basically, a cosmic close shave. Source: Mashable

🇺🇸 ENERGY SEC. WRIGHT: WIND AND SOLAR CAN’T REPLACE RELIABLE ENERGY "The problem with wind is that the wind doesn't always blow. If the wind is blowing, you can say it's powered by wind power, then the wind stops or the wind gets weaker. Something has to fill that gap in always be there. So when you add wind and solar onto a grid, you don't remove the need for coal plants, for nuclear plants, for natural gas plants, that work all the time. So to maintain two grids instead of one grid is always more expensive." Source: Fox News
