The future of energy: Elon Musk Debuts the Tesla Powerwall
A truly inspiring talk about how Tesla's new Powerwall will help revolutionise the world's energy use. By providing homes, businesses and industry with their own energy battery pack Tesla is now helping people smooth out their energy creation and consumption (and saving a lot of energy in the process. This is revolutionary! And the price???? Just USD $3,500 ... effectively the cost of an Apple Mac Book Pro.
Lots of other questions from this amazing innovation:
Do you even need solar panels? Couldn't you just draw down energy from the Grid during "off-peak" hours at a reduced rate?
By taking out the "peaks and troughs" from the power grid, how will this effect traditional power generators? I.E. Would the baseline coal power usage drop by just smoothing out the energy consumption?
Who wants one?
