SPS power transmission breakthrough test

Surprised no one's mentioned this:

Hands-down longest range conversion of electricity to microwaves,
transmission to another site, and conversion back into electricity.
Total distance covered horizontally equals transmission through Earth's
atmosphere vertically, with losses and defocussing being far greater due
to firing the beam through the densest part of the atmosphere
horizontally near sea level.

How much did the air between the two towers heat up?

Also, this is untrue: "It is the only energy technology that is clean,
renewable, constant and capable of providing power to virtually any location
on Earth." - solar can be used over the entire planet - including
Antarctica; as can wind turbines - they are also used in Antarctica. In
addition, most areas can use TDP or fuel derived from TD-processing plants.

available.

You want to get wind power going, stick a wind turbine near the North or
South Pole. :-)
The US science stations at the edge of the Antarctic continent have
experienced sustained wind speeds of over 100 mph due to the wind
circulatory patterns caused by being near the axis of the planet's rotation.

Most Australian Antarctic bases already derive a considerable amount of
electricity from wind turbines. In the near future, the bases will gain the
vast majority of their electricity from that source.

I perfer TDP. However, solar can be installed on most houses far more
economically than using satellite power stations; and servicing them will be
much easier.

I imagine PV on homes and Solar Troughs on the roofs of schools, factories,
shopping centres (malls) and the like. ST is already less expensive per kW
than PV and it will become cheaper as time goes by. ST can also produce
electricity 24/7 as the heat can be generated by a burner of some kind when
there isn't enough sunlight (or at night).

That makes for greater utility and economics when compared to PV. It also
means that, at night, it can be used for base-load generation, while more
conventional sources (gas/oil/coal power stations) are used during for peak
generation. By having a burner, it also means that electricity output can
be constant; that simply isn't the case with either wind or PV.

Wind energy offers the greatest clean energy footprint density, such
as a 10 MW wind turbine having as little as a 314 m2 footprint (31.85
kw/m2).

As Pat Flannery stipulated, in certain places we've got 100+ mph
sustained winds to contend with. There is no green energy shortage,
but only a shortage in deductive logic and the intellectual will in
order to advance in spite of ExxonMobile and their ENRON/Cheney
partners in crimes against humanity.

SPS is similar to ExxonMobile/ENRON energy, and lord William Mook has
been a very big supporter of ExxonMobile/ENRON plus anything his bed-
wetting partner Dick Cheney can manage to think up, especially if
it'll outperform the 6400% of fossil energy inflation within the past
64 years.

I'm going to bump the tread up. Two guys immigrate to America. On their
first day off the boat, they are wandering around New York City seeing

then come up to a street vendor selling hot dogs.One says to the other
in a shocked tone, "My God. Do they eat dogs in America?""I don't
know!" says the other, equally appalled."Well," says the first, "we're
going to be Americans, so we must do as they do."They approach the
vendor bravely, "Two hot dogs, please."The vendor hands them their food
in a pair of paper sacks. The two immigrants sit on a park bench to eat
their lunch.One looks inside his sack, hesitates and turns to his
