A Skeptic’s Take on Beaming Power to Earth from Space

Cars That Think

Energy experts have been warning that electricity is likely to get more expensive and less reliable unless renewable power that waxes and wanes under inconstant sunlight and wind is backed up by generators that can run whenever needed. Points plotted here show the highest efficiency reported in five-year intervals. consultancy.
