Nuclear power is the best source of power, and the reason we don't use it is because it takes about ten years for a new plant to become profitable, which is incompatible with capitalist planning systems.
Also it's a unionized industry and we can't be paying workers a beyond livable wages to build and maintain it for extends periods of time can we???? :shushing face:
Unfortunately a lot of people on the left are still blind to just how many workers get killed by solar panels, since it's mostly routine maintenance workers getting fried or falling off a roof, and not spooky science accidents.
So an antenna picks up electromagnetic waves from a broadcast station, these radio waves are used to encode sound, and since they are photons they also carry a bit of energy. Transmitting power wirelessly would work like this except you'd use a higher frequency, probably microwave, and up the intensity significantly.
I think the idea is that it's not a tight beam at all, but rather a very diffuse and spread out signal that reaches an "antenna" that is basically a wire mesh covering several square miles.

Isn't this common sense? Fuck solar, solar is just a techy labour-intensive way to burn lithium and rare earths.
solar is good, actually.
at least compared to coal/gas.
How common does something have to be to be considered common sense?
I mean, among leftists.
Oh, I wish.

large solar plants are on the ground. solar panels on roofs are just bougie libs pretending to be green.

You can tighten the beam an make a poor man's orbital beam cannon if you want though. So that is fun.
Yes, you are morally obligated to use this satellite to set the Gävle goat on fire each year.
