Converting the world to clean energy will be a bargain , so ran the headline quoting Elon Musk on the conversion of the world economy to greener energy over the next 20 years. The cost - a piffling $10 trillion.
Cheaper than the alternative according to Tesla, Musk’s electric carmaker, where developing and producing resources such as oil and coal would require $14 trillion over the next two decades.
Hmmm, if only things were as simple as the view from Tesla? With all the geo-politicking and conflict in the world, and what might arise over the next 20 years - think black swan events - the clean, green world of Tesla thinking could be a tad further away than that.
However, thinking big is what the report is all about.
