China deserves no benefit of doubt, whatever truth there is to this.... it's 100% a weaponization.

Geosynchronous orbit. What could go wrong?
Solar flares, meteors, but the biggest is Chinese piss poor quality control.
There will be considerable loss of power. It is an inverse square relationship. 1/r squared.

Power Station is easier sell on the world stage then we are putting a laser platform in space.

Didn’t we recently fire the most powerful laser? Coincidence?

A full commercial-scale plant generating 2 gigawatts by 2050, potentially producing as much energy annually as all extractable oil on Earth.

You ever wonder why US won’t use China steel or even ore components from China? Because it’s not tested and can’t be trusted. You want some cheap shitty steel, then order China.
China makes splashy headlines but has zero substance. This won’t be built. Do you realize China has dozens of cities filled with skyscrapers and no one in them? It’s the reason they are always trying to steal our shite. They are hidden behind a facade of Cold War era “might” but they are about as competent as your average Democrat supporter.

beam it back to Earth via microwaves
sounds like a sci-fi application to me - but I've been away from any contact with that sort of stuff for a few decades now.

In NYT and on MSNBC tomorrow:
If it wasn't for MAGA blocking it we could solve climate change tomorrow by ridding the Earth of its atmosphere making solar panels 1000's of times more efficient

Nope. How are they planning to get it into space?
