Simcity Microwave Power by 2050?
Politburo writes "The Drudge Report supplies this interesting Senate testimony. Dr. David Criswell, director of the University of Houston's Institute for Space Systems Operations, proposes that we develop robots to assist in the construction of a lunar solar array. The power from this array would be beamed to recievers on Earth, either directly or via relay satellites. Dr. Criswell predicts that with this project, "the average American income could increase from today's ~$35,000/y-person to more than $150,000/y-person." He also attempts to put to rest the idea that microwave power is unsafe, saying, "Each power beam can be safely received, for example, in an industrially zoned area." I wonder if he's ever played SimCity 2000" And coming soon, Godzilla from a drop-down menu.
If you only earn average income, you probably aren't working very hard. Why don't you take the initiative to get out there and do some real work and earn some real money instead of "putzing along" at your McJob?
An increase to the Average american income != increase of your income
Just like...
A substantial reduction in the taxes of the average american income != a reduction of taxes for most americans
Read about Republican Government policy for further clarification.
