Spaced-based solar power stations
There is plenty of solar energy in space. So, why not harvest it and beam it down to earth?

The idea sounds great, but how safe is it? Besides increasing the amount of space junk, could beaming energy to earth be dangerous?
Space-based solar energy stations might be closer to reality than we think! Various countries around the world are already investing in such projects.
While a great idea in theory, there are many technical challenges involved, top among them being the cost of launching the solar farms into orbit.
Besides offering unlimited energy that can be harvested day and night, space solar farms can also lead to significant reduction in carbon emissions.
Space-based solar energy has a lot of potential, and could be the solution to the ever-growing demand for energy in the world.
