True. Simple math. Even a patch of Spain could power all of Europe with solar.

Solar power in the deserts of North Africa is enough to supply forty times the world's electricity demand.

Elon Musk's solar evangelism once again proves crypto markets react to his tweets like weathervanes in a hurricane. ETH dipped 0.24% in the first minute, then wobbled between -0.18% and -0.01% over 10 minutes, mirroring the mild panic of a previous solar post (May 11) where it fell 0.28% in 5 minutes. DOGE followed its usual script: a negligible 0.24% drop, because even meme coins must feign concern for renewable energy. GORK, ever the contrarian, briefly rallied 0.16% before succumbing to gravity with a 0.88% decline—perhaps solar power isn’t the moonshot its investors hoped for. Volatility here is tame compared to the May 23 post (ETH -1.61%, DOGE -1.91%), suggesting the market now treats Musk’s solar rants as background noise rather than breaking news. Nothing says "efficient markets" like digital assets convulsing over a desert’s hypothetical energy output.
