    K, it's more 'scary' in the sense that it's so utterly of The Future.

    There have been murmerings of space-based power generation from orbiting solar catchment platforms (notably, by DARPA and the governments of India and Micronesia) for a while now.

    Now, at last, a firm commitment has been made by a major American utilities firm to buy power from a company that intends to have the systems in place by 2016.

    Given that gov'ts interest in zero-carbon power sources and promotion of space tech, this might actually get through regulatory hurdles.

    It's the fucking future, man.
