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

Cars That Think

Space-based solar power is an idea so beautiful, so tantalizing that some argue it is a wish worth fulfilling. Space authorities in China aim to put a small test satellite in low Earth orbit (LEO) later this decade. Ideas to put megawatt-scale systems in GEO sometime in the 2030s have been floated but not yet funded.

Using the PHEV (Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle) to Transition Society Seamlessly and Profitably From Fossil Fuel to 100% Renewable Energy

Green Car Congress

The combination of harvesting whole forests and burning long-sequestered carbon sources such as coal or oil has impaired the Earth’s carbon cycle at an increasing pace. The convenience and low cost of this concept alone merit attention. There are trucks and buses being converted commercially today.
