Beamed Space Solar Power Plant To Open In 2016?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the duck-duck-burn dept.

Eric_S writes "Anybody who managed to get a decent city going in Sim City 2000 remembers the microwave power plant; now it seems like a real-world equivalent might be coming up on the horizon. The Pacific Gas and Electricity Company, per this 'interview' with the CEO of Solaren on their affiliated site, announced PG&E's plans to buy 200MW of base-load power from a Solaren beamed space solar power plant by 2016." I wish the skeptic in me would be quiet.

    I can't believe your RUDE and INSULTING post got marked +5 insightful. I would much rather the guy a few posts down that reasonably CORRECTED his parent instead of throwing INSULTS at him for NO REASON, got modded +5 insightful instead of your shameful post. Your post is a disgrace. How would you like it if every time you questioned your teacher's reasoning he replied with a witty insult? Bet it would put you in your place, cocky ass. Shame no one did it to you as a child.

    But hey, you were rude towards a post modded "troll" anyways, so what does everyone care? +5 insightful for you, good doggy, here's a treat for insulting the troll.
