They did a test with microwave to transmit energy from space to Earth. There is some serious drawback in doing it via microwave though, so I’m curious on how they’ll transmit a huge amount of energy without heating up or causing residual damage to the environment.
The sun gun or heliobeam is a theoretical orbital weapon, which makes use of a concave mirror mounted on a satellite, to concentrate sunlight onto a small area at the Earth’s surface, destroying targets or killing through heat.

And ppl think wind turbines are deadly to birds, imagine a flock flying through a trillion watt microwave beam.

Ion canon ready
Yeah seems like there’s a general thermodynamics problem with sending a bunch of energy through the atmosphere
