hunh...wireless energy transfer...through atmospheric ionization...theres a bunch of questions I'd like to ask these guys all of a sudden...like...

what makes them think they wont destabilize the entire o-zone, or, not rip huge holes for much more dangerous forms of energy?

I like there thinking though...laser beams from space.

"Oh no, it's an energy platform! We swear!"
"Right...just like the star wars program was about watching the movie over and over again...in space...with missles...guided by a laser..."

Why don't they put some of that money to help the homeless and people in need?

I mean, come on, $21 billion?

Why don't they put some of that money to help the homeless and people in need?

I mean, come on, $21 billion?

...because power plants that are located in space are really expensive.

I find it a soft irony that a manicly laughing Mr.Burns is preaching this "Solar" powerred space station to us.
This is the best way to spend $21 I could think of. That, and the japanese life sized Gundam.
