In the grand scheme of things saving the world from global warming is about an 11 out of 10. Not just because it makes our sky look nicer, but because it would make the world a better place. My solution is solar power, but not the traditional way. Placing solar panels in space in orbit, so they always face the sun, is a solution to the weather problems such as cloudiness, vog, and fog. To transmit energy is the hitch. Currently the technique used to create wireless power is to transmit high amplitude radio waves to a transceiver, but it can only power small objects such as a PDA charger or a wifi head set. Technology would have to greatly improve in this field to transmit energy. The other problem is that some radio waves are blocked by the earth's atmosphere causing a loss of efficiency. Overall this solution is extremely clean, but costly and inefficient, science would have to improve for this solution to be feasible.
Thanks for reading Mark.
