I will actually say that I was quite surprised by some of the information people posted, and I'm actually glad somebody made this dumb thread. This is one of those dumb science fiction ideas that gets tossed around a little bit sometimes, and it's pretty stunning how stupid it actually is on every single level. From the sheer cost, to the possibility of devastation caused by the microwave beam, to the impossibility of actually providing enough usable electricity... I think this thread was worth it.
