As any regular reader knows, I'm a fan of Elon Musk. He thinks big and somehow manages to achieve great things. I am mostly interested in SpaceX but he is also noted for his Tesla cars, the proposed Hyperloop, and underground tunnels to relieve traffic gridlock. He is now in the solar panel business thanks to a merger with Solar Roof. He has big, transformative ideas. However, he also spouts the gospel for global warming, referring to it as a 'crisis.' It is interesting how a move away from fossil fuels would be immensely beneficial to a man who sells electric cars (Tesla), solar paneling, and alternative transportation systems (Hyperloop). Everyone who can be scared away from fossil fuels becomes a lifelong customer for his products. Does he really believe in man-made climate change or is he jumping on a useful hoax that will improve his profit margin? Decades of predictions on the subject have failed to pan out but he remains a true believer? Politicians always sell a tax increase or a government power grab by appending 'for the children' to the pitch. Businesses now use 'sustainable' and 'green' in much the same way.
