    Solar Energy: China’s Space Plant Could Beam to Almost Anywhere on Earth

    I posted a story on this before. But China is looking to put solar in space, very ambitious. I cant help but wonder if there will be some harm to humans when they beam this stuff back to earth. I mean wi fi signals are bad enough for us, and high tension lines. What about beaming energy back to earth. I am all for inovation though and going green so long as it does not have health side effects.

    Excerpt:

    China’s solar energy facility in space could beam energy to almost any part of the world, potentially transforming the economics of renewable energy and paving the way for more consistent power. The project, detailed last month, would collect solar in space and send it down to a receiving facility on the earth, bypassing atmospheric conditions to receive energy at six times the intensity of a similar facility on the ground.


    “You could beam electricity from Canada to the Tierra del Fuego at the southern tip of South America from a satellite at equator,” John Mankins, who spent 25 years at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory developing space-based solar, told CNBC in a Sunday story.

    It could prove a major breakthrough for sending energy to various localities as it’s required. While residential solar installation costs have plummeted over the past decade in the United States, from $6.65 per watt in 2010 to $2.89 in 2018, space solar could unlock cheap energy for a broader array of locations.
    We are all brothers and sisters in humanity. We are all made from the same dust of stars. We cannot be separated because all life is interconnected.

    We should get our own solar plants up there.

    Yes, the term for this coined back in the 1980's: Star Wars.

    They probably would if it was feasible.

    Agreed. We need to help beam as much damaging microwave energy into China as we can.

    What we really need is effective thermonuclear power generation.
    Freedom Requires Obstinance.

    We the People DID NOT vote in a majority Rodent Congress, they stole it via election fraud.

    We should use it for energy. We are already working on other space weapons.
