These are the kinds of stories I like: sending up an array of solar panels that will collect pure, unobstructed solar energy and then beam it down to a relay station on the surface of the Earth. It has its technical and political challenges, but its a little bit of outer space fiction coming to life on a drawing board.
The good news? Beaming all the solar energy we could ever need down to Earth from space appears more feasible than ever before. The bad news? It’s going to take a lot of money and political will to get there.
