The thousands of rocket launches needed to loft and maintain these space power stations would dump lots of soot, carbon dioxide, and other pollutants into the stratosphere, with uncertain climate impacts. These rectennas would then convert the signal to usable DC electricity. But the contract and promises went unfulfilled.
