## Quote — verbatim

> We're going to really reduce the price of electricity to a point that \[it's\] going to be too cheap to meter — I think that's going to be a reality. I'm really excited about that because I want to see human civilization reach Type 1 status in my lifetime.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken
