Solar power without the clouds…

Solar power is a great idea, but in the UK, clouds like to spoil the fun.   There have been some awesome ideas for solar power, one of these is in Spain where they reflect and focus sunlight from huge mirrors to the top of a tower.

But anyway, imagine being able to collect solar power from space and then beam it down to earth from satellites.  Dishes would pick it up down here where it could be turned into usable energy.  No cloud problems up there…

Sounds a little far fetched? Well Japan doesn’t think so, they are looking to have something workable by 2030.
