Collecting #solar power 24/7 in orbit and beaming to Earth builds on the benefits of terrestrial solar and solves many of its challenges including storage, overbuild, grid expansion, land use, and demand management. linkedin.com/posts/edtate_s…

If you don't think Data Centers are desperate for power, xAI bought $30M worth of generators to run their Memphis Supercluster while waiting for grid connect linkedin.com/posts/john-buc…

if you absolutely need the human touch in space, the costs are astronomical. NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration published their price list for doing things in space. A single hour of #astronaut time will cost a cool $130,000 an hour. linkedin.com/posts/edtate_p…

Big projects take time. Power plants in the US, take years to build. However, power plants are not necessarily the bottleneck to meeting demand. linkedin.com/posts/edtate_w…

One objection to beaming power for space based solar power (#SBSP) and other applications is the impact on wildlife. Surprisingly, it can reduce the impact of the electric grid on wildlife linkedin.com/posts/edtate_s…

Long distance wireless power transfer for hashtag#space has been studied for decades. The earliest paper studies and physical testing showed it was feasible, but the only applications that made sense were sky to sky; ground to sky; and sky to ground linkedin.com/posts/edtate_w…
