>: Wireless energy transmission could be part of a clean, abundant
>: energy future says The Millennium Project of the American Council
>: for the United Nations University. To meet the world's growing
>: appetite for energy without environmental damage, electricity
>: would be converted to microwaves, beamed over long distances by
>: satellite, and then reconverted back to electricity.
>
>: Jerome Glenn, Millennium Project director, said Monday, "Instead of
>: exporting oil in giant tankers, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Venezuela, and
>: other oil producing nations could use their own oil and gas that is
>: currently flared away to produce electricity locally and then beam
>: it by satellite to other countries' receivers attached to local
>: power grids."
>
>: "This has the great benefit of reducing potential catastrophic oil
>: spills, managing pollution more locally, and eventually opening up
>: new energy sources such solar panels in Earth orbit," said Glenn.
>
>: New funding for wireless energy transmission research is being
>: offered by the National Science Foundation (NSF) in collaboration
>: with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and
>: the Electric Power Research Institute.
>
>: National Science Foundation Program Director Dr. Paul Werbos says
>: the long term goal would be to beam down solar energy from space to
>: remote sites all over the world. This technology would provide "an
>: affordable source of baseload electricity without producing either
>: carbon dioxide or nuclear proliferation," he said.
>
>: "If research in carbon sequestration and wireless transmission of
>: energy becomes serious, then one day oil producers could become
>: electricity suppliers to the world without adding greenhouse gases,
>: and a global energy grid could be in space orbit," said Glenn.
>
>: Distribution of energy via orbiting satellites leads to a concept of
>: energy management that views the planet as a whole - a world energy
>: organization - a concept suggested Monday by the global think tank.
