It’s raining radio waves

Published by The Editors | Filed under future tech

PG&E have agreed to purchase power from a startup, Solaren, that will gather the power in a space based solar farm and then beam it back to Earth as radio waves which will them be turned into electricity. Part of the deal is that PG&E only pays for power delivered, so if Solaren can’t pull this off, presumably PG&E owes them nothing.
