You Need To Live In A Dome

There's A Fundamental Difference, If You Sort Of Look Into The Future, Between A Humanity That Is A Space-faring Civilization, That's Out There Exploring The Stars...compared With One Where We Are Forever Confined To Earth Until Some Eventual Extinction Event.

The Lessons Of History Would Suggest That Civilisations Move In Cycles. You Can Track That Back Quite Far - The Babylonians, The Sumerians, Followed By The Egyptians, The Romans, China. We're Obviously In A Very Upward Cycle Right Now And Hopefully That Remains The Case. But It May Not.

I Think The High-tech Industry Is Used To Developing New Things Very Quickly. It's The Silicon Valley Way Of Doing Business: You Either Move Very Quickly And You Work Hard To Improve Your Product Technology, Or You Get Destroyed By Some Other Company.

Starting And Growing A Business Is As Much About The Innovation, Drive And Determination Of The People Who Do It As It Is About The Product They Sell.

It Is Definitely True That The Fundamental Enabling Technology For Electric Cars Is Lithium-ion As A Cell Chemistry Technology. In The Absence Of That, I Don't Think It's Possible To Make An Electric Car That Is Competitive With A Gasoline Car.
