## Quote — verbatim

> In space you have near-continuous power for solar — you can follow the sun, always be on the sunny side, you don't need batteries. The economics don't make sense yet, but they're starting to make sense as space gets cheaper and cheaper. In like three to four years, maybe in five years, you can see space data centers becoming a real thing if energy is not solved on Earth.

Riffing on Elon Musk's frustration with terrestrial energy scaling; heat dissipation is solvable with radiators — "economics is the problem."
