Luna Ring lunar solar power generation concept
May 27, 2011
Shimizu Corporation | Shimizu claims: ”The energy paradigm shift opens the door to a sustainable society — a shift from economical use of limited resources to the unlimited use of clean energy is the ultimate dream of all mankind. The Luna Ring, our lunar solar power generation concept, translates this dream into reality through ingenious ideas coupled with advanced space technologies. Virtually inexhaustible, nonpolluting solar energy is the ultimate source of green energy that brings prosperity to nature as well as our lives.”
Comment: Space solar power experts I’ve spoken with have advised me that this is not a technically realistic project. More on realistic SSP projects in a forthcoming blog post. – Amara D. Angelica, Editor, KurzweilAI

Sadly, something like this could only be achieved by a world united.
Also, how does it deal with asteroids?

It is odd that the wondrous ideas of Shimizu have been dismissed for a while by so many transhumanists. It is great to see KurzweilAI finally picks up on this.
