    Thumbs up

    WOW, is that live and actual footage of the sun as seen by that observatory? That's a big flare on the first part of the video. So how come I don't see any stars in the background?

    In Geostationary orbit a solar panel gets 10-20x the energy that a solar panel on earth gets.

    Space Power Satellites can end global warming and solve our economic woes.

    Trying to save the planet, but nobody's listening yet.

    So, even if your "Space Power Satellites" worked, how many people could the Earth support? Whatever technology is used, that dilemma stares us in the face, but most of us turn away and repeat the same tired old maxim: "A growing economy is a healthy economy". But the Earth is not growing. Instead it is slowly cooling and shrinking. So where can the growing economy grow to while we pollute the Earth to death -- thousands of light years away on a yet undiscovered living planet in a far distant solar system? Not likely.

    We humans need to focus our attention on how to live at peace with each other and in balance with our still living biosphere, and that requires 100% recycling of all our waste and garbage and peacefully reducing our human population to a number this Earth can provide for so it can go on being a life-supporting planet.
