Just Have a Think | Powering the planet from space. Closer to reality than you think? @JustHaveaThink | Uploaded December 2021 | Updated October 2024, 5 hours ago.
Solar power stations in space. Sounds like pure science fiction doesn't it? And indeed, it was the likes of Isaac Asimov and Arthur C. Clarke who were among the first to consider the idea. But now there's a global race on to be the first to develop the concept into a genuinely functional system supplying solar power direct from space straight into our grids. And the prize for the winner could be massive.

Interested in mastering and remembering the concepts that I present in my videos? Check out the FREE Dive Deeper mini-courses offered by the Center for Behavior and Climate. These mini-courses teach the main concepts in select JHAT videos and go beyond to help you learn additional scientific or conservation concepts. The courses are great for teachers to use or for individual learning.https://climatechange.behaviordevelopmentsolutions.com/just-have-a-think-jhat
