• Tesla boss Elon Musk attends ONS energy conference in Norway
• Musk: Need a way into “sustainable energy future” – Tesla boss still pro nuclear power
• Warning of population collapse

From August 29th to September 1st, the ONS energy conference took place in Stavanger, Norway. Tesla boss Elon Musk was one of the guests at the event. In an interview he talked about the energy crisis, sustainable energy and fossil fuels, among other things. Musk also commented on another crisis that he thinks we should be facing.

Sustainable energy important – but dependence on fossil raw materials will remain for the time being

In an interview with Xenia Wickett, Musk reiterated the importance of sustainable energy, such as energy from hydrogen, as well as wind and solar energy and their storage. “We need a clear path to a sustainable energy future,” said the Tesla boss. However, he also believes we will be dependent on fossil fuels for a while longer and says he is not one to be inclined to demonize oil and gas. “We actually need more oil and gas, not less, but at the same time we need to move to a sustainable energy economy as soon as possible,” said Musk, who said he was also pro-nuclear. “I think we should really move on with nuclear power plants. I know that might not be popular in some corners, but I think if you have a world designed for nuclear power plants, you shouldn’t shut them down, especially now Not.”

Population collapse could become the biggest problem

In addition, Musk warned of another crisis, which he even classified a few days earlier on Twitter as a greater risk than global warming: “The population collapse due to low birth rates is a much greater risk to civilization than global warming,” wrote the Tesla boss At the end of August at the short message service.

Around three years ago, Musk declared at an AI conference in China that the biggest problem for the world in 20 years would be population collapse and repeated his warning in May when he posted a video clip of his statements at the conference shared.

Musk himself had his first child in May 2020 with his then partner Grimes, with whom he had another child less publicly. Then in July it was reported that since November the Tesla boss has also had twins with a former Tesla executive who now works as a director at Musk’s neurotechnology company Neuralink. He wrote on Twitter on July 7: “I’m doing my best to help the underpopulation crisis. A collapse in the birth rate is by far the greatest threat to civilization.”

Elon Musk has five more children with his ex-wife, Canadian author Justine Wilson, bringing his total number of children to nine.
