This is so true, because innovation thrives on the number of smart people exchanging ideas. Now that China’s population is highly educated, progress is accelerating. Meanwhile, Europe stagnates under excessive regulations, and the US is stuck admiring itself in the mirror and avoiding any exchange.

If we can get this down to 1 hour, it would just take 3 years to build enough solar capacity to provide all the electricity the world currently uses. Or more probable 6 fold increase of current buildout (around 2030?) and it takes around 12 years. Some ⚡️-storage will also be needed😉.
