The idea is to turn the captured solar power into microwaves before sending them to ground-based stations over 22,000 miles away to be converted into electricity.”


What happens when microwaves hit polarized molecules, like say water in the air?

We have a green project that literally boils the atmosphere!!!

So very many of these modern energy projects are just government money grifts that don't pass the slightest sniff test.

Microwave frequencies are from 300 MHz - 300 GHz. Pretty much all satellite communication is microwave. Satellite radio & TV, GPS signals, Sat internet, sat phones, and other general satellite communications.

Now those would be significantly less powerful. So I am unsure what, if any difference that would make.
