Power is *not* cheap in most places of the world. Nor is it very clean. Microwave transmission of space based solar collection IS the future. Couple that with wireless conduits and passive radiators for distribution of the energy and mankind will have *finally* achieved an important and historical goal - the harvesting of the suns rays to provide power for the majority. Once the initial infrastructure is up, then power will be cheap, clean AND safe. Very exciting.
