The NASA is Looking for another Milk Cow!

The concept of solar power satellites, first posited in 1968, seems to be back in fashion — not just in the US with initiatives at DoD and NASA, but around the globe, including in Beijing.

In short, they think about a number of powerful power satellites, which will capture the sun, convert it to energy and beam it back to earth. They want to restart that project again ... for a couple of billions of dollars of course.

But with everything to do with solar power, it misses one very important component: the battery.

Currently, there are huge fields with sun panels out there, which capture the sunlight and convert it to energy. That energy can be used directly to generate electricity. So far, so good.

• But ... when there is too much energy (more than they can use), they can't save it. There is no battery powerful enough to store so much energy. So what happens? That unused energy gets thrown away.

• But ... think about what happens at night. Or when there are huge clouds keeping the son away. Or when the winter is freeing the sun panels. No energy at all.

• The same is the case for wind. No wind, no electricity. Too much wind, the unused energy will be thrown away.

The so-called green energy sounds great, but it simply doesn't work as it suppose to do. The technology is not ready, it's not developed yet and nobody has any idea how to solve it at the moment.

And that's exactly the same with the fancy project the NASA and DoD are planning. There are no batteries in the world, which can store the energy captured from sunlight.

The only use of such project is to redirect the beam of pure energy to an enemy country.

But the power of such a beam of energy is much larger than multiple nuclear weapons exploding at the same time.
