Power/energy: Microwave power: A `far-out¿ system? `Moon-made¿ solar-fired turbogenerator stations may eventually beam microwave power to earth

摘要

Prospects of satellite power stations beaming energy to earthbound antennas seem brighter than ever. A key new concept is that the satellite stations could be manufactured from raw materials mined on the moon. The lunar ores would be processed with solar energy into structural materials for satellite solar power station.
