While it may mean more powerful computers for scientists and engineers, The average person doesn’t need any faster computer to flip thru FakeBook and YouTube videos or writing emails to friends and relatives.
Of course energy consumption will be a problem when all the cars and trucks become an anchor on the power grid.................
Power consumption by devices drops when advances like this are made and proven to be practical/scalable where the rubber meets the road (i.e., within the fabrication plant).
Not really they are going to solve that problem by requiring your car be attached so that it can power the grid in emergencies. They announced that plan this week, they did not however recommend a way for the person to get to work the next day.
The big new plan is the 15 minute cities, you know like we had in 1700.
