Reply to comment by PM_Me_Ur_Fanboiz in Northrop Grumman clears key hurdle for space-based solar power by PhyneasPhysicsPhrog

maybe more like 100 billion and put them in orbit around the sun then have that energy transferred 100 million miles. I think there's a few big hurdles still unfortunately.

For sure. There was an air of sarcasm to that. Shooting a microwave bean 100 million miles doesn’t seem as hard as focusing 360 degrees of Satellite beams in one direction, but I’m sure it can be done.
