Having rectennas for those things on the Earth instead of solar farms would benefit conservation though, as it’s essentially just chicken wire you can hang over farms and forested areas that won’t disturb wildlife. Actually if memory serves, those things can’t efficiently transmit at frequencies that would damage life. It uses like, the same frequency as wifi. I’d be worried about it causing cell phone interference.

I can imagine some shitty government deliberately building microwave MASERs using the tech specifically to burninate opponents though. All the more reason for everybody to organize and take power away from them so they can’t.

Why do I get the feeling China or Russia would try though?
