Story4.5 out of 5 stars 12
The grid is an accident of history and of culture, in no way intrinsic to how we produce, deliver and consume electrical power. Yet this is the system the United States ended up with, a jerry-built structure now so rickety and near collapse that a strong wind or a hot day can bring it to a grinding halt. The grid is now under threat from a new source: renewable and variable energy, which puts stress on its logics as much as its components.

Publisher's Summary
Self-driving electric cars! Trips to the Moon and Mars! A world where fossil fuels are no longer needed! An age where humanoid robots will do the dangerous, boring jobs!
Welcome to the world that Elon Musk is creating. Will we be better off when most transportation in underground, parking lots are an historical oddity, and paraplegics recover function through brain implants? Are you excited about a time when you’ll travel between LA and Paris by rocket, taking just 45 minutes from lift off to landing? Have you placed an order for your ticket to Mars?
Elon sees problems. Then he sees solutions. Then he sees little choice but to solve them, even if that means disrupting the biggest industries in the world: auto, trucking, utilities, energy, space, telecommunications, air transport, and robotics. He has amassed the top engineering talent available, created the biggest and fastest computers in the world, and built several of the largest factories on earth to accomplish these tasks.
Randy Kirk wrote a best-selling book on the business practices of Elon Musk, The Elon Musk Method. Now he has joined forces with popular Tesla news YouTuber, Lars Strandridder of Best in Tesla, to unpack the companies that Elon currently runs. Elon is Techno King of Tesla, Chief Twit at Twitter, and has every boy’s dream job of firing off rockets every week with SpaceX. He’s built a transportation tunnel under the strip in Las Vegas with his aptly named The Boring Company. He’s planning to enhance your brain with a quarter sized implant in your skull through his company, Neuralink.
Randy and Lars reached out to a pair of scientists to help with the portions that were above their pay grades. Dr. John Gibbs and Brian Wang have added in depth chapters on artificial intelligence, super computers, robotics, communication satellites, and MechaZilla.
This book is written for folks who are just beginning to learn about Elon and his ventures, and for those who are fans and foes who want the latest details. You will want to listen to this book if you are currently and investor in any of these companies or are considering a future investment. You might want to buy copies for your friends and associates who are filled with FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt) about a future brought to us by Elon Musk. There is little to fear and much to anticipate with excitement.
