actual cost of building it and maintaining it, both in space and on the

Thus, solar and wind are still "pie in the sky" not con
It was all in the reports. The stuff I worked on had some fairly
realistic numbers on all that, based on what we knew at the time and
some reasonable expectations of the march of technology. One of the
biggest assumptions was the performance of solar photovoltaics going

The idea still has merit, perhaps in the future when fossil fuels are depleted.
My concern would be the microwave energy, keeping that pointed in a safe
direction.

Grant, I beg to differ. Idaho Power has just announced it proposes to
install utilities scale solar for 2 and a half cents per kilowatt hour. The
cheapest in history.

How do you build an elephant?
Order a mouse, built under government contract...

A few billion spent in government programs to stimulate ignorance and
inbreeding would reduce the population to the point where we need less
energy... Ohh wait we already have those in place.. ;)) [Sarcasm
Andrew,
Points taken. The economy of scale for solar has taken large strides in the
past 10 years as production costs for solar panels have dropped and
conversion of light energy to electricity efficiency. per panel, has
increased.
Several large scale solar plants were on the plan prior to 2008 eco

That sounds like the homeless issue mixed with the safe space snow flakes.
Both populations are not going to breed. The homeless do not use much plug in
energy, and the snowflakes want to save all the energy. That just leaves the
religious folk to increase the population.
