RT Lacey (@LaceyPresley)KARDASHEV SCALE: MUSK'S COSMIC BLUEPRINTUnlocking solar power for AI dominance."To achieve any meaningful percentage of a Kardashev II civilization, where you're using even a millionth of the sun's energy, you must have solar-powered AI satellites in deep space. Earth receives only one two-billionth of the sun's output. If you want a million times more energy, you must go into space."Musk leaning on the Kardashev scale isn’t just tech talk—it’s him showing his hand. He’s thinking pas ...

"We set a path to to. Putting 100GW per year of solar powered air satellite into orbit. And and having this be actually the lowest cost way to power and operate. At at a very large scale. For reference, the United States consumes roughly 460GW in average per year because the average power in the US is 460. The whole country." — Elon Musk ...

RT Mario Nawfal (@MarioNawfal)ELON: TO SCALE CIVILIZATION, WE’LL HAVE TO MOVE AI TO DEEP SPACE“I see a path to Starship cost-per-ton-to-orbit being lower than air flight.That opens up a very wide range of possibilities.The most obvious one I think is actually solar-powered AI satellites.To move the AI to orbit and essentially deep space over time, because you can actually access over a billion times more energy from the sun in deep space than you can on Earth.To make any progress on a Kardashev 2 scale, whi ...

Solar Industry Trends & Challenges - Ivanpah solar electric generating system, once one of the largest solar plants, is scheduled to close due to cheaper alternatives and environmental concerns [1][2] - The Trump administration canceled the review of Esmeralda 7, a solar project planned to power 2 million homes in Nevada [2][3] - Concentrated solar plants are being undercut by the cheapness of photovoltaic panels [4] Technological Advancements & Feasibility - Collecting solar power in space is considered less feasible due to the cheapness and ease of implementing solar panels on Earth [5] - Covering approximately 1.5% of the Earth's land surface with solar panels and wind turbines could meet global power needs [6] Geopolitical & Economic Implications - Canceling the Nevada solar plant (Esmeralda 7) is considered detrimental, as it would have provided 6 gigawatts of cheap solar power [7] - The United States, the inventor of the first solar cell, is losing ground to China in solar panel production [8][9] - China is building solar panels 10 times faster than the United States, potentially leading to economic and political primacy [9]

RT Elon Musk (@elonmusk)@SemiAnalysis_ @BrentM_SpaceX 😉Still small fry at 1GW.For serious power in the 100GW continuous range (~1/5 of USA average power consumption), it probably needs to be solar/battery powered.At 1TW+, solar/battery is the only realistic option. ...
