So, there's quite a big keep-out zone, and when you factor the keep-out zone into account, the solar panels put on that area would typically generate more power than that nuclear power plant.

More quotes by Elon Musk
No I don't ever give up. I would have to be dead or completely incapacitated
Elon Musk
What most people know but don't realize they know is that the world is almost entirely solar-powered already. If the sun wasn't there, we'd be a frozen ice ball at three degrees Kelvin, and the sun powers the entire system of precipitation. The whole ecosystem is solar-powered.
Elon Musk
The rumours of the demise of the U.S. manufacturing industry are greatly exaggerated.
Elon Musk
Failure is an option here. If things are not failing, you are not innovating enough.
Elon Musk
There are some important differences between me and Tony Stark, like I have five kids, so I spend more time going to Disneyland than parties.
Elon Musk
We need to figure out how to have the things we love, and not destroy the world.
Elon Musk
In the case of Apple, they did originally do production internally, but then along came unbelievably good outsourced manufacturing from companies like Foxconn. We don't have that in the rocket business. There's no Foxconn in the rocket business.
Elon Musk
It would take six months to get to Mars if you go there slowly, with optimal energy cost. Then it would take eighteen months for the planets to realign. Then it would take six months to get back, though I can see getting the travel time down to three months pretty quickly if America has the will.
Elon Musk
My mentality is that of a samurai. I would rather commit seppuku than fail.
Elon Musk
Work like hell. I mean you just have to put in 80 to 100 hour weeks every week. [This] improves the odds of success. If other people are putting in 40 hour work weeks and you’re putting in 100 hour work weeks, then even if you’re doing the same thing you know that you will achieve in 4 months what it takes them a year to achieve.
Elon Musk
SpaceX has the potential of saving the U.S. government $1 billion a year. We are opposed to creating an entrenched monopoly with no realistic means for anyone to compete.
Elon Musk
It's just mind-blowingly awesome. I apologize, and I wish I was more articulate, but it's hard to be articulate when your mind's blown-but in a very good way.
Elon Musk
I always invest my own money in the companies that I create. I don't believe in the whole thing of just using other people's money. I don't think that's right. I'm not going to ask other people to invest in something if I'm not prepared to do so myself.
Elon Musk
In order for us to have a future that's exciting and inspiring, it has to be one where we're a space-bearing civilization.
Elon Musk
When I was in college, I wanted to be involved in things that would change the world.
Elon Musk
I'm reasonably optimistic about the future, especially the future of the United States - for the century, at least.
Elon Musk
I do love email. Wherever possible I try to communicate asynchronously. I'm really good at email.
Elon Musk
My motivation for all my companies has been to be involved in something that I thought would have a significant impact on the world.
Elon Musk
You could power the entire United States with about 150 to 200 square kilometers of solar panels, the entire United States. Take a corner of Utah... there's not much going on there, I've been there. There's not even radio stations.
Elon Musk
Mars is the only place in the solar system where it's possible for life to become multi-planetarian.
