PG&E Plans to Beam Solar Power From Space Back to Earth

It seems the designers of Sim City were really ahead of the times. And they knew that a misguided energy beam can do a lot of damage.

Very cool. I've always wondered about 'wireless' energy, as far as how it could work. I wasn't aware that radio waves carried enough power to make this feasible (and, now that I think about it, safe).

Of course this is all good, but I'm really waiting for the day when my laptop can use something similar to keep itself charged. (http://web.mit.edu/newsoffice/2007/wireless-0607.html)
