What Musk has inadvertently done is argue there is no justification for oil and gas electricity generation here on Earth. If he believes he can economically lift solar PV equal to our annual consumption into space, then we can generate all the power we need with solar and batteries here on the ground. Period. There is no way around the argument.

Let's just call Musk by his proper names. Idiot. Moron. Fool without wit - the most useless kind of fool.
How about we just take Elmo, stick him in one of his toy rockets, and fire him into the sun?
