The European Space Agency will ask its member states to fund a preparatory space-based solar power program at a major meeting later this year. The Solaris program would explore the potential of space-based solar power (SBSP) generation to provide clean energy and contribute to decarbonization by working with European industry to assess technical feasibility, benefits, implementation options, commercial opportunities and risks of the emerging technology. SBSP involves collecting solar energy with huge solar arrays in geostationary orbit, an orbit at the altitude of 22,000 miles (36,000 kilometers) where satellites appear suspended above a fixed spot on Earth. Without the obstruction by Earth's atmosphere, space-based solar power plants would generate energy more efficiently than Earth-based plants, and beam it to the ground for conversion into electricity.
Fuck me I'm a retard mutt how do I into space exploration and microwave transmitted power. Can you eurobros help me with my science homework?

ESA describes the Solaris program as a response to the current climate change crisis on Earth and a potential source of clean, affordable, continuous, abundant and secure energy. A decision on moving ahead with a European SBSP development program would be made by 2025, the agency said in a statement(opens in new tab). "Space-based solar power would be an important step towards carbon neutrality and energy independence for Europe," ESA's director general Josef Aschbacher tweeted(opens in new tab) on Aug. 16. "Two recent independent studies strongly recommend investments to advance the SBSP technologies needed to address our growing energy crisis."
The two cost versus benefit studies on "Space-Based Solar Power (SBSP) for terrestrial energy needs" were completed(opens in new tab) earlier this month. "We have the main building blocks already, but let me be clear: for the project to succeed, much technology development and funding is still needed," Aschbacher wrote(opens in new tab). The Solaris proposal will be put forward at the ESA Council of Ministers in November, but how much funding is being sought is not known. The ultimate goal of SBSP would be to aid Europe's transition to a net zero carbon world by 2050.
Isn't this a exact repeat of the idea that came from the USAs 1970s energy crisis?

Tell me how is this cheaper/better than just using good old Sun for same purposes?
John Jones
Yes And it never amounted to anything. EU bourgois do truly live in another reality. >How dare you not buy an electric car to save the climate from my private jet and yacht? The technology was lost, and it would be a very painful process to build it back. Sorry user.
>how is this cheaper/better? Because we make rules and regulations that say it is.
Angel Harris
These EU bastards can't even assure the same type of quality in a product across the whole bloc. And now they want to do something they saw in Star Trek or some garbage like that.
Evan Gutierrez
first thing to be snapped in a war and watch $30 billion dollars float away
Luis Lee
I'm sure it'll work out great for them just like all green energy projects do.
Xavier Mitchell
I remember there was a news report a few years ago that China was planning to do the exact same thing.
I think this is just a race for space weapons desu.
Nicholas Bell
This is nothing more than soft disclosure about space lasers weaponry or notice that EU is launching dual purpose weaponry into space.
Adrian Martin
What if space is fake and gay? What would happen if that is true?
Dominic King
Notice how the artwork is vector artwork shit. I can't find the connection between this specific style of artwork and subhuman 80 IQ retards but it's always for their benefit. And notice the English is choppy almost like it's for a 4th grader
>>Systems that collect the space-based solar power on Earth must be safe and sustainably integrated into existing power grids.
Absolutely terrible run on sentence structure here and sounds like 3 dyke cunts debated for 30 minutes how to properly convey the ideas. Nice work ESA.
>solutions we have more solutions after killing it all! When are we hanging our evil representatives?
Where is the God Damn revolution?
Owen Walker
It's not fake and gay but the faggots that inherited the space programs are certainly making it. Space needs to be fake and gay permanently so we can spend more money on welfare niggers.

>IMMA CAP LUNAR RAYS AND COVERT TO ENERGY I HECKING LOVE SCIENCE!!!!!
nigger you're gonna be frozen by winter
Nicholas Rivera
>Europe is working on Meaning fantasizes about it.
Nicholas Wright
It's just another fake and gay idea that COULD work but one we lack the technology to implement. Like those solar powered roads/sidewalks from 10 years ago.
Sebastian Lewis
We could have had this easily since the 1970's. Evil green and socialist politicians prevented our progressz as they do today. We have to remove evil.
Jayden Hughes
>send us money to "make" *insert-random-reddit-technology. >aww, it didn't work, evil capitalists are profiteering from the useful idiots that thought this concept was viable in any sense. this is why we need socialism
Aaron Robinson
EU has never been able to solve anything. It just makes things even worse.
Lucas Cox
It's not a new idea, and if Starship becomes as cheap as hoped it might actually be feasible. Even so it will take decades to become operational. youtube.com/watch?v=kdZ645Bve-o
