yet another reason to love Google! Good job, Google! Keep up the good work. Same to Good Energies.

@Clarkson, while I think you have a very valid point, putting energy pipelines and huge wind turbines 20 miles from the coast is probably going to require more than a couple dudes in a boat. But it would probably be easier to reach for repairs and expansion…

Thanks for reading and commenting!

Cool, I’d like to hear more.

Ron, what’s wrong with using wind? It’s already here. I don’t have to be a scientist or engineer to see which one would be less complex and less prone to errors. Probably cheaper to send a couple dudes out in a boat, rather than into space, no?

Five billion dollars can set up several space based inflatable reflectors for beamed energy. We could use infrared lasers or radio waves. Beamed energy of choice would be radio waves that would bounce off a reflector in orbit to a receiving station back on earth. In the early 60th’s ECHO 1, a 100 foot Inflatable balloon, was the first communication satellite in space that first tested this technology.
