Re: Imagine all the money ...

You do realize that, if you rank people by how much they contribute to energy storage research, either in absolute value or as a proportion of their wealth, Musk has got to be at or very near to the top, right?

As a proportion of their personal wealth people, the people at the very top of the list for contribution to energy storage research are various underpaid and overworked PhD students and independent entrepreneurs etc with a minuscule or zero research budget which they have to top up out of their own money whilst working a 100 hour week on their project.

i.e. People who don't have much money, but everything they do have all goes on their research.
