This awesome science could change the world

[quote]Scientists were able to transmit microwave energy in a directed beam to a target 170 feet away. This may not seem like a long distance but the experiment means the technology could be scaled up effectively according to news reports. The eventual outgrowth of the technology could lead to solar energy being collected in space and then beamed down to Earth.[/quote] paraphrased. This is huge, if solar energy could be collected in space, then beamed to earth, we will finally surpass our need for much of fossil fuels. The implications of this could change the world. Like a huge demand for people in the space industry. I'm sad that its Japanese scientists though. It's just a reflection of how the u.s. poor reinvestment in the education of our youth will be reflected in the future.
