Elon Musk breaks down climate change for students at The Sorbonne in Paris (France's Harvard) right before the historic COP21 climate change conference in which *all* nations signed the now historic Paris Agreement in 2015 to reduce carbon emissions below 2C, and preferably under 1.5C.

This channel believes that this is one of the best basic explanations on climate change ever given in a short amount of time. Enjoy!

What do you do while you build the most powerful spacecraft on Earth? You announce
an even bigger and more powerful spacecraft! Most people won’t do that, but that is
exactly what Elon Musk is doing! While building the Starship, which no other rocket
comes close to, the CEO has revealed the next version of the Starship, which is simply
a monster! What does the next generation Starship look like? And why does SpaceX
need such a huge rocket? Join us as we dive into the Starship 2.0 just revealed by
SpaceX!
SpaceX is an ambitious company! Under the control of Elon Musk, it has been moving
from one huge milestone to another. The company currently operates the most powerful
rocket, the Falcon Heavy, while still owning one of the most active rockets in operation,
the Falcon 9. SpaceX regularly sends payloads to orbit for private companies, including
itself, and government entities like the US military. SpaceX is also a close launch
partner for NASA, ferrying cargo and personnel to the International Space Station.

Elon Musk OFFICIALLY SHOWED The TERRIFYING T-Drones To Beat Russia

In almost every field of science, and technology, US and Russia have always been competitors. Occasionally, though, stuff gets a little crazy.Well, no don’t have to worry because there are no hostilities between them.But the vibes are not calm. It is no secret that Elon Musk is famous for his technological abilities.Therefore, Russia is getting a little jealous of his success and is trying to make things less exciting, and Musk is threatening them in response.


The Russian space chief watched in awe as billionaires Jeff Bezos and Richard Branson took off into space in vehicles they helped fund - and wished his country's billionaires would follow their lead. But in the first interview with Western media since assuming the role of director general of Ros cosmos, Dmitry Rogozin told CNN that "our millionaires prefer to invest in yachts rather than spaceships. But maybe kids of current Russian millionaires will be much more wise creatures."There is no doubt that Rogozin is highly impressed with the boom in space tourism that is occurring in the United States, led by companies like Branson's Virgin Galactic and Bezos' Blue Origin.

Would you like to go on a trip to Mars? While that sounds interesting, the time the
journey takes will discourage many. Using current rockets, the shortest time to get to
the Red Planet is five months! And you will have to target a small window that comes
once in two years! While this piece of information might not mean anything to most
people, for Elon Musk, it means the failure or success of one of his passionate dreams;
setting up people to live permanently on Mars! To make the travel to the planet more
bearable, one of the options Musk is considering is Warp Drive which promises to
reduce the trip time by a large order of magnitude! What is Warp Drive, and how fast
can it help Musk put people on Mars? Join us as we dive into how Musk reveals the
Warp Drive Starship!
Musk has been pushing SpaceX to speed up the development of the Starship! He even
asked his engineers to sacrifice their Thanksgiving weekend to fix a problem on the
Raptor rocket engine that powers the Starship! While it is a big deal to some of the
employees and other non-SpaceX employees, working through the weekend does not
faze Musk, who has slept on the factory floor of his companies before!
There is a reason Musk wants the Starship to be done as soon as possible! This is
because, while NASA is content to wait until 2033 to send an astronaut to Mars, Musk
wants to do so by 2026, which is just five years away! While you might dismiss the goal
as Musk is being over optimistic as usual with his target, the billionaire CEO has a worst
case scenario of putting humans on Mars by 2031, which is still two years earlier than
NASA's best plan!
Apart from this, Musk thinks there is a window of opportunity available for humans to
become inter planetary, and this is the first time the opportunity is possible for humanity.
He wants to use the chance quickly as he is unsure the window will be available for
long!
When you are planning to move one million people from the earth to Mars as Musk
wants to do within a short time, there are several things to need to consider, which we
will briefly look at! The first is cost. The first thing to note is that simply having money,
tonnes of it, will not get you to Mars! As Musk said while on Lex Friedman's interview,
even with a trillion dollars, right now, you can't fly to Mars! You need the right
technology, like the Starship that SpaceX is building!
Even with the right technology, space travel is expensive! In fact, anything involving
rocket launches is costly! That is because of the nature of rockets, which are
traditionally one-time-use vehicles. This mode of using rockets is ridiculous, as Musk
pointed out. It is like buying a new car every time you want to go out! While it is mad
expensive to do so, it is also complicated because you need a new car built to go out!
Most people won't be able to afford going out if that is the only way to use cars, which
sort of is what you get with space travel today that only the ultra rich can indulge in!
Obviously, that won't work for Musk, who claims there is a particular cost per ton to go
to Mars that will ensure the city established there can sustain itself. Besides, there might
not be enough ultra rich volunteers willing to relocate to Mars, so the price has to come
down for most people watching this video to even consider it!
However, if there is any company that can reduce the cost of space wandering, it is
SpaceX! The company already has a reusable rocket, the Falcon 9. But it is only
partially reusable. The booster comes back and land, but the upper stage is written off,
which adds at least 10 million dollars to each launch cost! This brings the launch cost to
between 15 and 20 million dollars without accounting for overhead.
However, with a reusable spacecraft like the Starship, Musk says you can reduce the
cost by a factor of a hundred, meaning you could have launches of under two million
dollars! This is the cost to orbit, and obviously, the cost to Mars will be more. But if you
do the maths by dividing the total costs by the number of people the Starship can carry,
which is between 70 and 100, a trip to Mars is not so expensive! In fact, Musk has
claimed if you want to relocate to Mars, you can fund your ambition by selling your
house!
However, even with the lowest price, there is another factor you have to consider when
going to Mars, time! Apart from astronomical costs, distance is another barrier to deep
space jaunts! Like it has been mentioned in this video, you need to budget at least five
months of your life to travel to Mars. This could stretch into a year, depending on when
you take off. Now, what could happen if you spend five months in space?

Take action on climate change at http://countdown.ted.com.

The single most important thing for avoiding a climate disaster is cutting carbon pollution from the current 51 billion tons per year to zero, says philanthropist and technologist Bill Gates. Introducing the concept of the "green premium" -- the higher price of zero-emission products like electric cars, artificial meat or sustainable aviation fuel -- Gates identifies the breakthroughs and investments we need to reduce the cost of clean tech, decarbonize the economy and create a pathway to a clean and prosperous future for all. (This virtual conversation, hosted by TED Global curator Bruno Giussani, was recorded in March 2021.)

Countdown is TED's global initiative to accelerate solutions to the climate crisis. The goal: to build a better future by cutting greenhouse gas emissions in half by 2030, in the race to a zero-carbon world. Get involved at https://countdown.ted.com/sign-up

It’s been five years since Tesla acquired SolarCity for about $2.6 billion. The deal was immediately controversial with some shareholders suing Elon Musk. But fans looked forward to charging their Tesla electric vehicles on sunshine. CNBC interviewed industry experts and recent Tesla solar customers to see how the company is delivering on its promises today.

Correction (October 6, 2021): At 3:30 we incorrectly state that Elon Musk was a majority shareholder of SolarCity and Tesla. The correct statement is that he is a large shareholder, not a majority shareholder.

It’s been five years since Tesla acquired SolarCity for around $2.6 billion.

To convince shareholders to approve the deal, Elon Musk hosted a splashy event in Hollywood, where he held up a shiny roof shingle, which he said was a miniaturized solar panel.

SolarCity was founded in 2006 by Musk’s cousins, Peter and Lyndon Rive. It was backed by Musk who served as chairman of the board at both Tesla and SolarCity. Musk’s aerospace company, SpaceX, had also purchased tens of millions of dollars worth of solar bonds from SolarCity.

“The goal is to make solar roofs that look better than a normal roof, generate electricity, last longer, have better insulation, and actually have an installed cost that is less than a normal roof plus the cost of electricity. Why would you buy anything else?” Musk said at the event in October 2016.

The roof tiles were going to be the next big thing in residential solar, according to Musk, and once Tesla and SolarCity combined, the product would juice the company’s growth while delivering clean energy to homeowners.

After the deal went through, however, new installations by Tesla-SolarCity plummeted.

In the fourth quarter of 2017, Tesla reported a 43% drop in solar deployments compared with when it purchased SolarCity. The company ended up losing its market-leading position in 2018 and now hovers around 2% of the residential solar market, according to Wood Mackenzie. In the first and second quarters of 2021, Tesla installed 92 and 85 megawatts of solar, respectively. That’s less than half of what SolarCity was installing per quarter before the acquisition.

Tesla moved some solar employees to work on building the company’s electric cars and batteries, fired other solar employees, and moved others who had been doing new installations to work on repairs and remediation.

Some of the solar rooftops the company installed caught fire. One employee who raised fire safety concerns internally and filed whistleblower complaints to federal government offices sued Tesla saying it wrongfully terminated him as an act of retaliation.

Shareholders also sued, saying the acquisition amounted to a bailout for Musk and his family’s other businesses.

While the judge won’t deliver his verdict in the derivative shareholder lawsuit until early next year, Musk testified the SolarCity deal was essential to achieve Tesla’s vision. He denied SolarCity had been in dire financial straits before Tesla acquired the business.

Today, there’s growing demand and fresh government support for residential and commercial solar throughout the United States.

But Tesla still isn’t mass producing and installing large numbers of the Solar Roof tiles. Most of the growth in its Energy division has come from its energy storage systems -- from backup batteries for homes to big batteries for utility-scale projects. Most of its residential solar revenue comes from installations of traditional panels.

CNBC interviewed industry experts and recent Tesla solar customers, to find out how the company is delivering on its solar promises. Their experiences were mixed, with customers in Washington, New York and California bemoaning poor customer service and unexpected issues with the installation of their solar panels, and others praising Tesla for making cars and systems that enable them to run on sunshine.

Tesla did not respond to multiple requests for comment on this story.
