    That's great to hear that you're excited about the Aptera and its innovative design! If you're interested in clean energy solutions, you might also want to check out the Segway Portable PowerStation Cube Series. It's a versatile power station that can keep your devices and appliances running for extended periods, making it perfect for outdoor adventures or as a home backup power source. It has a massive capacity, fast recharging, and even includes comprehensive protections. It's definitely worth considering for your power needs!

    Fusion energy is not dangerous, it's literally the holy grail of producing energy, it's not possible for a runaway fusion reaction that can happen with traditional fission reactors, i.e. no meltdowns and the by product is helium, which as you may know is inert, it literally spits out party balloons ;)

I wonder what the limit is before you start losing too much energy from the waves no longer being able to as effectively move it. -I feel like that would scale, if the air-tank and weights were spread out over a wider area. You wouldn't even need a big tank either you could use sealed tubes and bags of sand...

In 3 years, you reduce by 85%. Something that capitalist and oil/gas burning industry do not want to see. This will retire even gas power plant.

    All these technologies and solutions are advertised well. There are plenty other companies and technologies which may work even better than these techs. Also when u Say solar is less efficient than wind - that's not the whole story. Predictable Delivery to keep the grid stable is also an important factor which solar is much more reliable. Energy is multiple aspects - generation, long term stability, grid stability and less volatility. Tech like geothermal fracking and others could also be better than any of these.
