Tesla has long been a leader in the push for a sustainable energy economy, and their recent Investor Day event was no exception. CEO Elon Musk and top engineer Drew Baglino took to the stage to explain the math behind the transition to a sustainable energy economy.
The two highlighted the efficiency of electric vehicles and renewable energy compared to fossil fuels, and how much less capacity of the former is needed to replace the latter. They also broke down the needed energy and energy storage capacity to make the transition, as well as the potential of heat pumps as a massive opportunity to reduce fossil fuel use.
Tesla argued that the transition to sustainable energy through electrification will result in lower overall resource extraction on earth than oil extraction. They also estimated that the investment into renewable energy and electric vehicles over 20 years would be 40% lower than the investment into fossil fuels over 20 years based on the rate of investment in fossil fuels in 2022.
Musk and Baglino concluded that a transition to a sustainable energy economy through renewable energy and electric vehicles is not only feasible, but it is going to be cheaper than what we currently invest in fossil fuels. They promised to release the math and sources for people to challenge their view.
Tesla’s Investor Day event was a powerful reminder of the potential of renewable energy and electric vehicles, and how much closer we are to achieving a sustainable energy economy. With Tesla’s commitment to releasing their math and sources, we can all be sure that this transition is possible and affordable.
