supersix2,
Re : satelites. I heard something the other day, similar to this but involving photo-voltaic cells on satelites. The idea with these was to beam the energy back to Earth as microwaves...an idea I'm not particulary comfortable with, but the claim was that the radiation would be so diffuse that it wouldn't be noticable. I'm just thinking "Hey Melonoma. Sure is nice to see you again..." but then again, who knows?
Sustainable energy - nothing like it
