ia a microwave beam from space to earth. So the idea is you could put big solar panels floating in space. It could gather up the electricity and shoot it to earth. And they had shown that they could do that on a small scale, and I said that that would be a big game changer if they could scale that up.

Well, I mistakenly believed that Elon Musk agreed with my take, but it's actually the opposite. So Elon responded to that story. A lot of people had asked him about it, I guess, and said that he's often asked about beaming electricity from space from solar panels. And I mistakenly believed he said that was a good idea. But what he was talking about, and the only thing he was talking about, because he says that could never work, there are reasons in physics which he understands that I don't that would make it really impractical or impossible to scale it up. But if you were generating it in space but also built your, let's say, your AI data center in space, you could use the electricity in space and then it would be almost unlimited because you would be above our cloud cover and you could be where the sun always gets you. So it would never be nighttime if you had solar panels.

So the clarification is that at least in terms of what Elon says, and I will not disagree with him, that there's no practical way to make that a dominant energy source for the terrestrial folks. However, you might cynically or skeptically say, "Scott, Scott, Scott, you simpleton, don't you know that even though it was Japan that announced this breakthrough, that it almost certainly is a cover for some kind of a space-based weapon? Because if you had something that generated a lot of electricity floating above the earth and you could microwave that as something, that would be a good way to shoot down any kind of a space-based w
