Patent granted for satellite solar power station proposal
The patent goes to Arthur D. Little Inc for a system sending solar energy from orbiting satellites at 22,300 miles up. Satellites convert sunlight to DC then microwaves to earth stations, potentially delivering power continuously from locations like Paris. A three mile wide orbital solar belt could exceed 1980 world energy needs, with no resource depletion or pollution concerns.
