That is correct. Â Solar Based Solar Power is one thing that might be considered and would change everything! Â I see the picture and I think to myself “what if this things is tilted 10 degrees in the wrong direction”? Â Is there any possibility of this thing creating a major disaster on Earth?
The article says that “low powered beams are considered safe”, but what happens when you put your cat in the microwave? Â (please do not abuse your kitty). Â The technology is simple and really, it seems like a great idea, but to only support the electricity for 1,000 homes, just doesn’t seem worth it to me.
There is a receiving grid a mile wide, even that takes up too much room. Â I would put the worth of the idea higher if it could power 10,000 homes. Â Small cities could take advantage and maybe even help to fund projects like this. Â To power only 1,000 homes, the city I live near would have to send up 50 light collectors and have a receiving area even larger to convert the light on Earth.
It is nice to see others “looking outside the box”, at least. Â The ideas may seem far fetched, but at least they are in idea form. Â I would like to talk to whomever thinks it’s cost effective to send up a solar collector that can only power 1,000 homes.
