Welcome to the Gigafactory | Before the Flood

I mean that fossil fuel industry is the

I mean that fossil fuel industry is the biggest industry in the world that they

biggest industry in the world that they

biggest industry in the world that they have more money and more influence than

have more money and more influence than

have more money and more influence than any other sector so I mean do it the

any other sector so I mean do it the

any other sector so I mean do it the more that they can be sort of popular

more that they can be sort of popular

more that they can be sort of popular uprising against that the better but I

uprising against that the better but I

uprising against that the better but I think the scientific fact of the matter

think the scientific fact of the matter

think the scientific fact of the matter is we are unavoidably headed towards

is we are unavoidably headed towards

is we are unavoidably headed towards some level of harm so the sooner we can

some level of harm so the sooner we can

some level of harm so the sooner we can take action the less harm will result

[Music] Wow holy crap that’s a good robot Oh

Wow holy crap that’s a good robot Oh

Wow holy crap that’s a good robot Oh what is your grand vision for all of

what is your grand vision for all of

what is your grand vision for all of this quite a big factory is to get the

this quite a big factory is to get the

this quite a big factory is to get the cost of batteries down to point where

cost of batteries down to point where

cost of batteries down to point where it’s affordable

it’s affordable

it’s affordable but batteries are critical to a

but batteries are critical to a

but batteries are critical to a sustainable energy future the Sun

sustainable energy future the Sun

sustainable energy future the Sun doesn’t shine all the time so gonna

doesn’t shine all the time so gonna

doesn’t shine all the time so gonna store it in a battery how is this gonna

store it in a battery how is this gonna

store it in a battery how is this gonna help developing nations that have

help developing nations that have

help developing nations that have massive populations that need to have

massive populations that need to have

massive populations that need to have power so the advantage of solar and

power so the advantage of solar and

power so the advantage of solar and batteries is that you can avoid building

batteries is that you can avoid building

batteries is that you can avoid building electricity plants at all so you could

electricity plants at all so you could

electricity plants at all so you could be a remote village and have solar

be a remote village and have solar

be a remote village and have solar panels that charge a battery pack that

panels that charge a battery pack that

panels that charge a battery pack that then supplies power to the whole village

then supplies power to the whole village

then supplies power to the whole village without ever having to run thousands of

without ever having to run thousands of

without ever having to run thousands of miles from the high voltage cable over

miles from the high voltage cable over

miles from the high voltage cable over the place it’s like what happened with

the place it’s like what happened with

the place it’s like what happened with landline phones versus cellular phones

landline phones versus cellular phones

landline phones versus cellular phones in love developed countries they just

in love developed countries they just

in love developed countries they just didn’t do the landline phones they just

didn’t do the landline phones they just

didn’t do the landline phones they just wear straight cellulose

wear straight cellulose

wear straight cellulose we actually did the calculations say

we actually did the calculations say

we actually did the calculations say like what would it take to transition

like what would it take to transition

like what would it take to transition the whole world to its sustainable

the whole world to its sustainable

the whole world to its sustainable energy

energy

energy what kind of throughput would you

what kind of throughput would you

what kind of throughput would you actually need and you need 100 Giga

actually need and you need 100 Giga

actually need and you need 100 Giga factories

factories

factories so hundred of these 100 of these yes

so hundred of these 100 of these yes

so hundred of these 100 of these yes that would make the United States know

that would make the United States know

that would make the United States know the whole world the whole world the

the whole world the whole world the

the whole world the whole world the whole world all energy that’s it yeah

whole world all energy that’s it yeah

whole world all energy that’s it yeah that sounds that’s responsible that

that sounds that’s responsible that

that sounds that’s responsible that sounds fanciful yeah the Giga factory

sounds fanciful yeah the Giga factory

sounds fanciful yeah the Giga factory when it’s complete

when it’s complete

when it’s complete I’ll have the largest footprint of any

I’ll have the largest footprint of any

I’ll have the largest footprint of any building in the world counting multiple

building in the world counting multiple

building in the world counting multiple levels that could be as much as 15

levels that could be as much as 15

levels that could be as much as 15 million square feet so Tesla can’t build

million square feet so Tesla can’t build

million square feet so Tesla can’t build 100 Giga factories the thing that’s

100 Giga factories the thing that’s

100 Giga factories the thing that’s really gonna make difference is if

really gonna make difference is if

really gonna make difference is if companies that are much bigger than

companies that are much bigger than

companies that are much bigger than Tesla do the same thing if the big

Tesla do the same thing if the big

Tesla do the same thing if the big industrial companies in China and US and

industrial companies in China and US and

industrial companies in China and US and Europe the big car companies if they

Europe the big car companies if they

Europe the big car companies if they also do this then collectively we can

also do this then collectively we can

also do this then collectively we can accelerate the transition to sustainable

accelerate the transition to sustainable

accelerate the transition to sustainable energy and if government sets the rules

energy and if government sets the rules

energy and if government sets the rules to favor sustainable energy we can get

to favor sustainable energy we can get

to favor sustainable energy we can get there really quickly but it was really

there really quickly but it was really

there really quickly but it was really fundamental unless there’s a price put

fundamental unless there’s a price put

fundamental unless there’s a price put on carbon we’re never gonna be able to

on carbon we’re never gonna be able to

on carbon we’re never gonna be able to make the transition that we need to in

make the transition that we need to in

make the transition that we need to in time correct yeah the only way to do

time correct yeah the only way to do

time correct yeah the only way to do that is basically with a carbon tax
