  1. Re:11000 miles? on Japanese Firm Proposes Microwave-Linked Solar Plant On the Moon · · Score: 1

    Solar power is about 44% stronger in space then on earth.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

    But I'd say its still cheaper to setup solar thermal in places like the Sahara,
    and store heat overnight in molten salt like the Andasol power station does.

    The Sahara alone could replace all forms of power on the planet,
    best to locate in deserts in as many time zones as possible.

    The extreme temperature variations on the moon would degrade the equipment
    much more rapidly then what we see here on earth.

    Also I think the easiest way to get power off the moon with be Helium-3
    mined by robots like the rovers, sent back via rail gun with ocean landing
    similar to the Apollo missions.

    More on that here:

    http://www.technologyreview.co...

    University of Wisconsin has a running HE3 fusion reactor, just not the affordable fuel,
    but the moon could provide that.

    The solar wind puts the HE3 back over time.

    Much cheaper to ship back one shuttle load equivalent of HE3 per year then
    build a massive solar array in an extreme hostile environment.

    There are monopolies, there are cartels, and there is protectionism when it comes to big money Telcos.

    Quality has taken a back seat to a giant cash grab.

    They don't really even bother to hide how much they are robbing the sheeple.

    All they have to do is distract the sheeple that same way a snake charmer does,
    and their favorite tool is the "Operation Mockingbird" media.

    $300 billion stolen by Telcos, $32 trillion stolen by a various means and
    placed offshore and the IRS won't touch it.
