Aetherflux is ditching massive solar farms for single satellites closer to Earth for space solar power. They plan to use high-powered lasers to beam energy to small, mobile receivers. If this tech reaches lift-off, it could one day deliver power where infrastructure doesn\u2019t exist \u2026 from disaster zones to military bases. Could this be the special use case that finally launches space-based solar power? And if this approach works, could it eventually make orbital energy cheap enough for the rest of us?<\/p>\n<p>Watch How CATL Made Batteries 90% Cheaper (And What Happens Next) <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/Wf84NJSiAeU?list=PLnTSM-ORSgi7uzySCXq8VXhodHB5B5OiQ<br\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/Wf84NJSiAeU?list=PLnTSM-ORSgi7uzySCXq8VXhodHB5B5OiQ<br<\/a> \/><br \/>Video script and citations:<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/undecidedmf.com\/why-space-based-solar-isnt-entirely-stupid\/\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/undecidedmf.com\/why-space-based-solar-isnt-entirely-stupid\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Get my achieve energy security with solar guide: <br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/link.undecidedmf.com\/solar-guide\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/link.undecidedmf.com\/solar-guide<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Follow-up podcast:<br \/>Video version &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UC4-aWB84Bupf5hxGqrwYqLA\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UC4-aWB84Bupf5hxGqrwYqLA<\/a><br \/>Audio version &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/stilltbdfm\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/stilltbdfm<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Join the Undecided Discord server:<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/link.undecidedmf.com\/discord\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/link.undecidedmf.com\/discord<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udc4b Support Undecided on Patreon!<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/mattferrell\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/mattferrell<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2699\ufe0f Gear &#038; Products I Like<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/undecidedmf.com\/shop\/\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/undecidedmf.com\/shop\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Visit my Energysage Portal (US):<br \/>Research solar panels, heat pumps, and more to get quotes for free!<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/undecided.link\/energysage\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/undecided.link\/energysage<\/a><\/p>\n<p>For a curated solar buying experience (Canada)<br \/>EnergyPal&#8217;s free personalized quotes:<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/energypal.com\/undecided\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/energypal.com\/undecided<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Tesla Referral Code:<br \/>Get 1,000 free supercharging miles <br \/>or a discount on Tesla Solar &#038; Powerwalls<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/ts.la\/matthew84515\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/ts.la\/matthew84515<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udc49 Follow Me<br \/>Mastodon<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/mastodon.social\/@\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/mastodon.social\/@<\/a>mattferrell<\/p>\n<p>X<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/mattferrell\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/twitter.com\/mattferrell<\/a><br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/undecidedMF\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/twitter.com\/undecidedMF<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Instagram<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/mattferrell\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/mattferrell<\/a><br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/undecidedmf\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/undecidedmf<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Facebook<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/undecidedMF\/\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/undecidedMF\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Website<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/undecidedmf.com\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/undecidedmf.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udcfa YouTube Tools I Recommend<br \/>Audio file(s) provided by Epidemic Sound<br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/UndecidedEpidemic\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/UndecidedEpidemic<\/a><\/p>\n<p>TubeBuddy<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tubebuddy.com\/undecided\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.tubebuddy.com\/undecided<\/a><\/p>\n<p>VidIQ<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/vidiq.com\/undecided\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/vidiq.com\/undecided<\/a><\/p>\n<p>I may earn a small commission for my endorsement or recommendation to products or services linked above, but I wouldn&#8217;t put them here if I didn&#8217;t like them.
