Elon Musk’s photovoltaic fusion reactor in the sky in over 30 countries

NEW YORK – The United States is working hard and tirelessly to address rising energy demand, which becomes especially acute as summer approaches. They have already dealt with “virtual energy” to meet peak demand, and now nothing else Elon Musk he declared that we could use a giant fusion reactor in the sky to supply the entire United States.

Thermonuclear reactor “in the sky”: Elon Musk’s idea that raises concerns

Elon Musk is a famous tycoon born in South Africa who made history by leading such successful and revolutionary companies as Starlink and Tesla. On the other hand, it was often talked about throughout the city controversial forecasts and seemingly random decisions. Nevertheless, his companies have played a key role in the development of sustainable technologies.

Now the man who turned electric cars into a profitable business shocked everyone when, without any preamble, he stated that we could use a fusion reactor “in the sky” to supply energy to the entire United States. As if that wasn’t enough, he detailed a well-thought-out plan to implement this revolutionary idea that would provide the American country with clean, renewable energy.

The entrepreneur explained that the sun is like a natural fusion reactor in the sky and that we are wasting most of its potential as a sustainable energy source. According to Musk, if they installed a 160 by 160 km photovoltaic farm, they could power the entire A US energy grid without greenhouse gas emissionsno transport costs, simple and inexpensive maintenance.

Photovoltaic city? It can revolutionize solar energy “in the sky”.

A solar power plant of this size would cover an area equivalent to a city, which makes Elon Musk’s idea extremely ambitious. However, if this project is implemented, could provide the whole country completely environmentally friendly energy and would be a quantum leap towards the goal of eliminating our carbon footprint.

The businessman’s idea has attracted the attention of the entire world, which is waiting to see if he will be the one to start a crusade that could become the starting point for a photovoltaic model that could be imitated by other countries. Expectations are rising considering that in 2016 Elon Musk acquired SolarCity, a company that produces solar cells and photoelectric batteries.

A solar energy project of this scale could result in big business for the tycoon, which already has investments in electric cars and photoelectric systems. Thousands of solar panels and batteries would be needed to store electricity and all this infrastructure will be delivered by SolarCitysomething that could position this company among the most important in the world.

Vision for the future: what we can achieve in the short term

Elon Musk is on helm of companies such as SpaceX, which aims to open the market for commercial space travel; Tesla, which has sold thousands of high-performance electric cars around the world; and StarLink, a company creating a global network of satellites that could provide satellite connectivity to anyone, everywhere.

It is obvious that the entrepreneur’s vision indicates a revolutionary, a pioneer, so he is an excellent candidate to be the first to supply the entire country, using the potential of the “thermonuclear reactor” that we have in the sky, in the words of Elon Musk.

Solar energy in other countries

If the idea were to be implemented in practice, then yes great news for America, where we have already made our own progress in the field of photovoltaic energy. In fact, the controversial giant solar power plant in Morocco was supposed to be a project of a similar scope, although unfortunately it has been suspended for now.
