It’s a been a topic of debate for many years and, so far, all we’ve done is talk about it. The Japanese appear to be ready to put $21 billion where their mouth is when it comes to collecting solar energy in space and beaming it down to the surface. They say they’ll be able to power 249,000 homes. Makes a lot more sense than ruining a desert ecology with solar collectors. What do you want to bet the UN calls it too dangerous and tries to stop them?
