Silly but my idea of solar-from-space was tainted by too many hours playing Sim City and having microwave beams going off target and running havoc through my cities. Those 2100 power demand figures are scary. My 2 month old child will still be alive in 2100. 18,000 nuclear reactors, all the coal, oil and gas plants plus wind, tidal and solar farms and all of that still not sufficient. Its been said before but it is not just a problem of energy production but of energy consumption. We must change our ways, not just hope we can invent a new energy source. That is fascinating.
