Do any of you guys care about people lane splitting?

An even better idea is building giant solar cells in space (practically infinite space), and have them beam the energy back to Earth by lasers.

Yes. This idea is called space based solar. Wouldn't it be great if we had invested in putting that in place rather than wars in the middle east? We could have built a pretty robust system by now.

That would certainly have a profound effect on the climate. Solar farms in space have far better scalability and potential. Not only would it provide infinite power to Earth 24/7, but it would also power any space structures we build.

Get it done people.

hard to tell, sometimes, where ideas go off the rails. The Great Tesla Myth of infinite power macines milking the electrical potential between upper atmospheric ionized regions and the ground, which drives lightning worldwide, using essentially giant lightning rods..... could just be dismissed as laughable, and have been, by our energy moguls with their feet planted in tar.

When cold fusion was announced by Pons and Fleishman, there was a concerted media blitz, and paid scientific stooges sent out to debunk it, again on point for the oil energy moguls.

We do not know a lot, but the people with the money do manage our information to their interests, and steer our efforts in science. Cold Fusion is an active research field pursued by a number of scientists who've accepted marginalization and no funding as just a political phenomenon, and gone on with the good work.

Here is one I know:

Wait. Solar has just recently become economically competitive and you want to add tens of thousands of dollars of cost per pound to each panel? Let's put them on rooftops and in the desert first eh?

by "we" I hope you don't mean the daymn federhal goberment. ****ers can't do anythin right even with the media bias.

I'm really talking about the future. Part of the space infrastructure that I'd like to see built over the next century, allowing for the eventual construction of large space habitats.

It's cool to see the advancements that humanity has made on the tech side but man I'd LOVE to see what advancements we make over the next several hundred years.

The future will be filled with all sorts of amazing inventions that we can't even imagine today.
