Japan Space Agency Advances in Space-Based Solar PowerQuote:The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, or Jaxa, said it succeeded in transmitting electric power wirelessly to a pinpoint target using microwaves, which is an essential technology needed for the realization of space-based solar power.
If implemented, microwave-transmitting solar satellites would be set up approximately 35,000 kilometers from earth. Jaxa says that a receiver set up on earth with an approximately three-kilometer radius could create up to one gigawatt of electricity, which is about the same as one nuclear reactor. $15/barrel oil... The commodities lehman moment arrives as well as Sovereign debt volcano!

To develop we need cheap and affordable power. Which country has managed to eradicate abject poverty without affordable power. Rich countries has the options and choice to R&D on other renewables that we lack. Nuclear power is what we need. work to prosper

Rich countries has the options and choice to R&D on other renewables that we lack. Nuclear power is what we need. my friend Tokyo, when you see America,europe,asia crying about going green and leaving nuclear they ain't stupid. they did nuclear energy decades and decades ago and they have come to realize that its dangerous for their great grandchildren and not them (which I believe most leaders in Kenya don't care about their great grand children). we don't have to go through what these countries have gone through to realize the harm of these nuclear. if Kenya goes nuclear ill be happy if sanctions can be put to us. I don't want the children of my children to suffer over some underthoughts decision someone made because of over ambitions, please follow the links above and you will understand it from enlightened wazuans

Thorium nuclear reactors are quite promising...but still works in progress. kenya can opt for them just in case

Nuclear energy will not see the light in kenya. This talk about it and formation of kenya nuclear board is an avenue for some people to eat and their cronies to benefit Wealth is built through a relatively simple equation
Wealth=Income + Investments - Lifestyle

This talk about it and formation of kenya nuclear board is an avenue for some people to eat and their cronies to benefit Thanks eEricsson . I said before western Countries are not stupid to stop nuclear and go green .sisi wafrika what is this that we are smarter than them tthat we see nuclear to be good
