China has announced plans to build a giant solar power space station, which will be lifted into orbit piece by piece using the nation's brand-new heavy lift rockets.
Microwaves are a band of the EM spectrum, and only a few very specific frequencies affect biological life directly. You wouldn’t want to use these frequencies at all, because they effect water molecules and thus would be heavily attenuated by the atmosphere.
Well according to wikipedia the safety of this is iffy. It’s not impossible to make it safe but it’s definitely not without risks to human and animal life either.
Poor fucking birds, no?
fossil fuels are worse
Ahh right
Yeah I don’t really get how this doesn’t just cook stuff in the atmosphere on the way down?
Well hey, maybe China can use it to cook a giant bean burrito and cure world hunger

Skill issue. Don’t stand on the big X they target the space Lazer at. It isn’t like smog where it gets everywhere
True, it’s almost certainly gonna cook some birds tho, but then again wind farms also smoke birds regularly.
That is literally oil company propaganda. Cause it could never kill as many birds as oil fumes though. You arent wrong, just the vibes are off.
