esla Motors is about
to mass produce batteries that could change the global demand for power, and

Where's our long-term plan? Mike Steketee writes on The Drum.
Elon Musk calls it "a fundamental transformation of how
the world works".
The founder and chief executive of Tesla Motors, the pioneer
of all-electric cars in the US, was announcing the company's move into the mass
production of batteries that can store electricity for residential use, solving
the problem of the intermittent nature of solar and wind power. He says that
his system of "stored sunlight" can be scaled up to literally any
size - like the whole world - ending reliance on fossil fuels.
