Technology to SAVE THE WORLD!
Re: Technology to SAVE THE WORLD!
#2
energy transmission is lossy, particularly over that kind of distance. There are ways around that but they don't tend to work well underwater. Also maintnance of the things would be a pain.
The thing about putting solar energy collectors in space is that it scales relatively well, with maximum capacity being that of a dyson sphere. By then we'd better have cheap fusion reactors.
Yeah it also suffers from energy losses, but more from the fact that solar panels are quite inefficient than the transmission itself, and once you have the satellite up it's easy to redistribute the power to elsewhere if it is needed.
Also designing stuff to be active on the sea floor at such a high temperature isn't exactly easy.
