Why not just in geosynchronous orbit above Japan? Way easier than all the way at the moon.

Sweet, free energy. Then we can put guns on it!

I’m against categorizing things as fantasy so quickly, since 200 years ago saying that people would fly was met with ridicule, but perhaps, just perhaps, we should build a lunar base before making these claims

How deadly are the microwaves of power that would be beaming towards earth?

Hope they put 12 numbers on it and a Casio logo.

I can think of at least three countries, including our own, that would gladly blow this up to force the oil industry to remain all powerful.

The current owners of the dirty energy will take care of buying off each and every scientist who can work on that project.

Why? There are 3 better spots to do it (cost efficiency accounted).
1. On earth
2. In our orbit
3. Just on the surface of Moon, ya know, the side facing the sun all the time
Duh, Iโm stupid, Moon faces us with one side, but sun still hits it around. Hence the ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐

Is this how Halo becomes real? And the aliens show up like, โNope!โ

So the plan is to literally microwave the earth…
altSHIFTT on
Or how about actually implementing renewable energy here on earth instead of fucking about and lobbying against it because fossil fuels are more lucrative?
UserLesser2004 on
Something straight from Gundam lol. Just need to paint it red for 3x the energy

How about earth?

Cool, and if they can make it happen, greatโฆ
But it would be infinitely cheaper and easier to just build more solar right here on earth to provide endless clean energy to earth.
carthuscrass on
How do they plan on getting the energy to Earth? A 192,000 mile cable!?
stfoooo on
So basically the microwave power plant from SimCity 2000? There may be some lessons we can learn from that, if so

I just hope it doesnโt spawn any Godzillas.
Seriously though, here is something that would make the world a better place.

Itโs a secret front for Japan to build an arm of Gundams in space, which I fully support
Zeikos on
Is it just me or this kind proposals feel like excuses not to do anything tangible?
„Why aren’t we investing in green energy right now?“
„Look! We could have solar panels in space!“
„That sounds dumb.“
„I thought you wanted renewables!“
To me it sounds like misdirection.

The Magic is how do you transmit the power to earth without huge losses? This is far from a trivial problem.
azssf on
Needs some protomolecule.

Someone watched Gundam 00 and decided to put it on the Moon instead.
le-throw-away-acct on
You could easily power everything on Earth by just building more panels, on Earth. And at a fraction of the cost to build and to transmit that energy.
twotoebobo on
Sounds like fake bs.

Idea is from a former JAV star…jk.

Awesome. Thank you Japan.

i want a Dyson Sphere.

Sounds like a quick idea of a person that is no engineer, I would say as an engineer.

Awesome. Do it already
Rich_Housing971 on
Article is clickbait. The picture has nothing to do with the actual proposal. The actual proposal is pretty boring- just having a ton of solar panels on the moon the way we already have it on earth. Nothing is orbiting anything.
Once you understand this, then it seems pretty ridiculous and stupid. Just add more panels on Earth. The gains in solar production from putting it on the moon is not worth the effort getting them up there. Finally, if you really want panels outside of the earth’s atmosphere, then just HAVE IT IN SPACE.
It’s a non-serious proposal that the author decided to turn into a clickbait article and gullible people are thinking it’s real.

But how does that benefit the billionaires?
Wonโt anyone think of the billionaires?!?

„Japan company wants to trick investors with unrealistic mock-ups that ignore all properties of logistics and scale, then leave others holding the bag“
– more accurate headline.

I do too, but both me and Japan have about the same odds of actually doing it.

I thought weed was banned in Japan lol

Call me an imbecile if you want but how will this moon energy get to Earth?
Giant cables? Wireless? Batteries? Free energy?
I honestly don’t get it.
drubus_dong on
Plot twist, they do not want to do that.
Mean_Rule9823 on
America would bomb them if they tried to help everyone lol
Can’t have another country have that much influence or soft power.
Wish we could all just get along as one global community..
That will never happen with religion and power hungry governments tho.

That would be a lunar ring actually

Pure fantasy.
And a long extension cord?
