Peak Power

After growing frustrated with slow progress on renewable energy, Elon Musk launches his most ambitious project yet. He rallies 10 million Americans to donate $100 a month, crowdfunding a network of half mile-high "Solar Spires" towering structures clad in solar panels and packed with Tesla Megapacks. Each spire serves three purposes: massive clean energy generation, cutting-edge energy storage, and the world's most extreme adventure tourism. The media dismisses it as another Musk fantasy, until the first prototype spire goes up outside Las Vegas in just 18 months. The spires revolutionize both energy and sport. The summit of each tower features a AI-monitored launch platform where certified "Sky Racers" can wing suit jump after rigorous training. What begins as a niche activity explodes into a $30 billion industry, with 4 million licensed jumpers worldwide. Tesla develops smart wing suits with stabilization tech adapted from SpaceX parachute systems. The combination of clean energy production and adventure tourism makes each spire financially self-sustaining within two years. Opposition emerges from traditional energy companies and safety regulators. When a jump streamed live goes tragically wrong, Congress holds emergency hearings. Musk counters by demonstrating the spire's emergency drone rescue system and showing how the project has already replaced three coal plants. His masterstroke comes when he live-streams 1,000 simultaneous jumps from spires across America, their wing suits tracing glowing patterns in the sky. In the finale, Musk reveals his long-term vision: a global spire network that could meet 20% of Earth's energy needs. The post-credits scene shows SpaceX engineers reviewing plans for the first Martian spire, hinting at how extreme sports might evolve in low gravity. "The future belongs to those who dare to leap."
