This is an academic seminar, so not much razzle-dazzle, but the subject matter is certainly cool!
Space-based solar power is the idea to put PV panels on satellites in orbit and beam the power down to the surface.
Do you think that sounds outlandish? Well, there is nothing technical stopping us - just a matter of financing and politics. Not like fusion which is still an unsolved problem. In my book space-based solar would be smarter, cheaper, and more sustainable than even nuclear power.
I have archived a copy of the seminar recording on my Nextcloud (in case you have any problems using the Zoom-provided recording).
