Floating farms next.

One other benefit of floating Solar Thermal plants is that they can also
produce potable drinking water through the desalination of seawater

Space Core when he hears the news: SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE!!! What about
SPACE!?! SOLAR POWARD SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE?!?!

heres how you make blasting off into space every goddamn hour to fix a
cellphone. you make an electric fucking rocket

I am not very informed about various energy collecting methods but I think
that a solar panels in space would be a great idea, and transmitting the
energy down to earth, however if we include wind turbines, tide energy and
the Tesla Coil we might be able to power the world.

fusion energy will be mine its clean and give off more power than a nuclear
power plant

nuclear ftw!!!

if they can beam energy , why not make nuclear reactors in space?! dont
know if its possible without gravity. but it would be a lot safer. in my
opinion nuclear energy is the cheapest , and its safe(yeah an earthquake or
a tsunami can cause a a meltdown, but if they are at a different location
they can just kill humans. I like the green energy too , but i dont know if
its that good, if you buy a solar panel you need to have it like 20 years
… ill type a part 2 comment

A giant sentient grotesque bio-mechanic monstrosity of a power plant
replete with multiple eyes and tentacles that is fueled by virgins, baby
pandas, and whiskey. lots and lots of whiskey.

Whenever I hear of transmitting wireless energy, I think of Tesla.

If they can beam energy to earth from space, there’s no reason we can’t put
a nuclear reactor in orbit, then it can just wait until it faces the sun
and spit its waste out that way.

We could generate power using bikes! It could solve obesity and save the
environment!

We could hook up all the equipment in all the gym’s of America so getting
fit would help power the nation. 🙂 I played the original Sim City on an
Amiga 500. Solar power wasn’t even an option back then I don’t think.

Not entirely true. some of it is regardless, and on high enough levels, a
great deal is. Never mind that radio absorbtion as a means of electical
production is vastly inefficient,and would have to be concentrated, not
diffused to produce any real power(And also to prevent jamming the global
communications system. Also even if the only earthbound energy is the
electrical, electricity ALWAYS GIVES OFF HEAT! It’s always lost from
elsewhere thus not considered but in this case it’s lost from space.

I would have to say energy production from fusion reactors when their
finally built and stuff…….

I don’t know what you are talking about, if you beam down the radiation as
radio waves, they won’t be absorbed by the atmosphere. Hence why we make
topological maps of Venus using radio waves. Because they WON’T get
absorbed by the atmosphere. Global warming is visible light being absorbed
by the atmosphere and being re radiated as infrared light and not being
able to escape. Radio beaming escapes this and therefore does not cause any
global warming footprint.

My favorite? LFTR!!! Liquid Fluoride Thorium Reactors. Safe, easy to manage
nuclear energy from an element orders of magnitude more abundant than
Uranium. And since the fuel is liquid, cooling isn’t an issue and the
failsafe mechanism doesn’t require power – if anything goes wrong (say,
tsunami knocks out your reactor and the backup diesel generators), a plug
of ice kept frozen by a blower of liquid nitrogen melts and the fuel safely
drains to a tank large enough that it goes below-critical.

Another good source of energy is OTEC ocean termal convertion

Its fascinating how despite all these dramatic changes from the late 1700’s
and the 1800’s –that even the smartest and most imaginative could barely
dream part of it (H.G. Wells did come up with the “world brain” concept
which sounds like the 1990’s Internet)–, we are still using steam engines.

I was one of those who never had the courage But now that we have managed
to build a solar panel and have advanced in knowledge and think make money
from it not only saves It is unbelievable You can find here
ABOUTSOLARCELLS.COMXA.COM all the tips guidance …. will learn how to
build end help build keeping in touch with them and THOSE with EXPERIENCE
help them find what they need and guiding is one of the best in the market
believe me ABOUTSOLARCELLS.COMXA.COM

I thought of this idea for prisons. Have all the prisoners peddle
stationary bikes that power the prison….lol
