(cont'd from yesterday's post)
So Peter Diamandis sees both energy and information becoming nearly free in the future, thus the possibility that basic needs will also become very cheap and maybe free - attainable without money, de-monetized.
In this video of the talk by Diamandis, Elon Musk shares his vision of ubiquitous self-driving cars (1:00) and roofs made of solar panels (about 5:40) . For a fully electric economy, he estimates that the world will need about one hundred "gigafactories" like he has built in Nevada to produce electricity-storing lithium batteries.
So, Musk is at the forefront of the solar panel/lithium battery wave that Diamandis thinks will de-monetize energy, and contribute to a future abundance.
Maybe I should issue a disclaimer at this point. Like Jonas Berg says at the end of this video (he put it together), nobody really knows what is going to happen. Diamandis and Musk are just technology elites, offering their opinion.
