Space Energy!
John Lees
Apparently the UK dept. of energy has been looking into the idea of generating power using solar panels in space, and then beaming that energy down to earth.
I know that there will be some concerns about the idea of a high power microwave beam aimed back at some specific location here on earth.
What if the beam loses track and wipes out a neighbouring city?
Well, don't worry, they plan to control the aim of the beam using advanced self-learning AI...
(P.S. only half of this is satire. The first half is real. Imbeciles really are wasting our money on *seriously* contemplating this idiotic idea.)

And they were afraid to shoot down the "Chinese spy balloon" because it might hit someone on the ground.

I know, right Bill! I doubt this will happen.
Actually if they did it somewhere in the desert it might be useful (which leaves Britain out. Or the Brits could set up a sea-based "farm", but it would still mean a potential clam bake as they might overheat the ocean where they are beaming.)
No, they aren't going to do this. This is just another red herring to get people to give up fossil fuels.
