Like some kind of 21st century Willy Wonka, audacious entrepreneur Elon Musk
chose a prime spot on the Universal Studios Hollywood backlot tour to
unveil his latest attempt to energize an industry — roofs that generate
solar power but look like no other.
Musk, the chief executive of Tesla Motors and chairman of SolarCity,
showcased a line of high-design solar roof tiles that would replace
clunky solar panels and tie into an upgraded version of the Tesla
wall-mounted battery for those times when the sun doesn’t shine. The
glass solar shingles resemble French slate, Tuscan barrel tile or more
conventional roofing materials with a textured or smooth surface.
“The key is to make solar look good,” Musk said during the
product introduction staged on the old set of ABC’s “Desperate
Housewives” series, where he had re-roofed four of the Wisteria Lane
houses. “If this is done right, all roofs will have solar.”

"... It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth, and fulfill the great responsibility which we hold to God and our country. Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offense, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country, and of an act of disloyalty toward the Majesty of Heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings."....I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
