Solar energy from space is clean and practically infinite Source Brand Factory Telefónica Space solar power is coming There are projects related to the capture of solar energy from space in several countries. Both the United States and the United Kingdom intend to launch this type of energy generation systems called space-based solar powerby its acronym SBSP or SSP. In the English case the idea is to start it up in 2030 and make it operational by 2040 at the latest. But you don't have to wait that long. The California Institute of Technology Caltech plans to launch its first tests in 2023. And beyond the United States and the United Kingdom countries such as China Japan Russia or India are also interested photo editor in it. In China for example they intend to launch their own small space stations by 2025 at the latest. And in 2035 they will put a 200-ton station into orbit. In short the technology is available. But building the receiving facilities and satellites and putting them into orbit is only within the reach of large country budgets and/or public-private collaboration. Hence we have to wait decades or decades until we see the first satellites in orbit that send solar energy from space to Earth to capture it and convert it into electricity. With this we will be able to obtain unlimited energy from our main source of heat a way to reduce the damage we inflict on the planet and that affects us directly. Not for nothing electricity generation is in the United States alone the second largest cause of greenhouse gas emissions25. vs. 27. for transportation in 2020.
