Elon Musk invited by German Minister of Economy & Energy after VW Gate

Elon Musk was invited yesterday by the German Minister of Economy & Energy, right after VW Gate ...

- "What will you say to your kids or grand kids ?" ... they will say: "Nobody told you ?"  ... :(

- Germany is a huge leader for Solar Power Generation, but not for Sustainable Power Consumption

- Put a Price on CO2 & Incentives for Renewables won't be necessary

- Sun => 1GW/km2 & Solar Panels => 200 MW/km2, so, combined with Energy Storage, the Power is here to supply heating, transportation, etc,  and replace fossil fuels completely , no problem :)

- Tesla Model III : Elon says it will come out ASAP: they will build GigaFactory & Assembly at the same time, expect 2 to 2.5 years

- Says Airbus and its Electric Plane is a great move for them
