Micro-factories are a great counterpoint because they employ an economy of scope by taking advantage of low cost tooling and co-creation, resulting in the ability to get products to market faster and in less time while using less capital to find a winning concept.

Here’s our rough draft, which we’re releasing as we refine the concept—we moved up our plans when we learned about the Tuesday address. We ask organizations to move this realistic, conservative, and cost-effective approach to the top of their talking points and priorities. But let’s realize: defending our nation is never cheap.

Low-cost, low-mass, and space-hardy versions of these technologies would be required, but engineers trying to draw up detailed plans for such satellites today find no parts that meet the tough requirements. The effort set records for delays and cost overruns, and yet a prototype is still years from completion.

To ignore this potential is wasteful and foolish. Another strikingly different concept evidenced by the PHEV is that it is essentially a large, portable battery that can store energy gathered during one part of the day, and then use it later to power not only itself but also the vehicle owner’s home. But use of petroleum will continue.
