Japan eyes world-first transmission of space-based solar power to Earth by 2050. Really!

I am very skeptical of this approach of beaming solar power to Earth from space especially if this was done at large scale around the world!

What is the environmental impact? What does it cost?

By 2050??? Japan is too slow! Others will long have tried this before Japan!

It appears this is not the first time this was reported by a news media outlet!

"Japan aims to launch a 2.5-square-kilometer solar panel into space by 2050."
