ENERGY FROM SOLAR POWER. Depoly large solar photovoltaic arrays in geo-stationary orbits around the earth. Transfer the power gained to a central unmanned hub. The hub programming is able to use some of the power to correct the orientation of the array to maximize collection efficiency. The Hub will then convert the energy into a microwave/laser beam, thightly directed to a reception site in a remote uninhabited place (possibly desert area) ready for conversion back to electricity and fed into a national grid system.

The risk of the beam going off target and causing collateral damage/death in the locality of the reception site can be eliminated by hub programming. Hub failure to acquire correct alignment transmissions from the reception site will cause it to insigate self adjustment of the energy beam or terminate beam until correction is achieved. Self guidence systems are now a fact- evidence, a recent TV documentary on weapon self guidence systems either in use by the USA military or being developed from test models (missiles & unmanned packs of drone planes). I would argue that very little technology needs inventing for this project. Let's use weapons technology for the common good!

Devopment of solar array power sources around the world may have other benefits:- 1. Stop the supply of fossil fuels being used to control the actions of independant states. 2. Deprive extremeist groups of reasons for their existance and funds. 3. Remove the need for the proliferation of nuclear power plants for energy/weapons grade material. 4. Conserve fossil fuel sources for future needs (lubrication etc). 5. Provide income for African/Chinese destert dwellers and energy to run desalination plants.

Future generations may curse my generation over the lack of lateral thinking to resolve global warming.
