Solar-powered civilisation is the future, says Elon Musk in a tweet

Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has said that civilisation will be mostly solar-powered in the future.

In a tweet, Musk said that almost all of Earth’s energy comes from the Sun.

“We would be a dark iceball at near absolute zero if not for the Sun. And essentially the entire ecosystem is solar-powered,” he mentioned.

“Civilisation uses a tiny amount of energy by comparison. Not hard to generate from wind/solar,” he added.

Musk is bullish on solar energy and runs the Tesla Solar vertical and that provides panels for rooftops, along with energy storage solutions.
