The United States is working hard and relentlessly to solve the problem of increasing energy demand, which is especially urgent in the coming summer. They had already engaged in “virtual energy” to meet peak demand, and now there is nothing else Elon Musk declared that we could use a giant fusion reactor in the sky to supply the entire US.
Nuclear fusion reactor “in the sky”: Elon Musk’s disturbing idea
Contents
Elon Musk is a famous South African-born tycoon who made history by running successful and revolutionary companies like Starlink and Tesla. On the other hand, it has become the talk of the town for him on many occasions controversial predictions and seemingly random decisions. Nevertheless, his companies play a key role in the development of sustainable technologies.
Now, the man who turned electric cars into a profitable business shocked everyone when he announced, without preamble, that we could use a fusion reactor “in the sky” to power the entire United States. As if that wasn’t enough, he detailed a well-thought-out plan to implement this revolutionary idea that will provide America with clean, renewable energy.
The entrepreneur explained that the sun is like a natural fusion reactor in the sky and we are wasting much of its potential as a sustainable energy source. According to Mask, if they build a solar farm 160km by 160km, they can run on all the energy. A US power grid with zero greenhouse gas emissionsno transport costs, simple and cheap maintenance.
Photovoltaic city? Revolutionizing solar energy may be ‘in the sky’
A photovoltaic plant of this size would cover an area the size of a city, making Elon Musk’s idea incredibly ambitious. But if this project is implemented, could supply the whole country with completely environmentally friendly energy and would be a quantum leap towards the goal of eliminating our carbon footprint.
The businessman’s idea has caught the attention of the world as they wait to see if he can start a crusade that could be the starting point for a photovoltaic model that other countries can emulate. Anticipation grows when you consider that in 2016 Elon Musk bought SolarCity, a company dedicated to the production of solar cells and photovoltaic cells.
A solar project of this magnitude could mean big business for a tycoon who already has investments in electric cars and photovoltaic systems. It will take thousands of solar panels and batteries to store the electricity and all this infrastructure. To be provided by SolarCitysomething that could place this company among the most important companies in the world.
Looking ahead: what we can achieve in the short term
Elon Musk is here He is the head of companies like SpaceXtrying to open up the space travel market; Tesla, which sells thousands of high-performance electric cars around the world; and StarLink, a company building a global network of satellites that can provide satellite connectivity to anyone, anywhere.
It is clear that the entrepreneur’s outlook is revolutionary, pioneering, so he is an excellent candidate to be the first to provide the entire country with the potential of the “fusion reactor” in the sky. Elon Musk.
Solar energy in other countries
If this idea were to come to fruition, it would Great news for America, where we have already made our breakthroughs in photovoltaics. In fact, the controversial giant solar plant in Morocco would have been a project of a similar scale, although it has unfortunately stalled to this day.
