Describe a beamed power solution. ( Digest Number 135)

Some additional thoughts...

Peak powerloads are at different times throughout the world
Most power generation techniques are most efficient producing energy at a
constant rate
Many 'alternative' energy sources must be located where the energy is
available and is often not located near current population centers.

Thus this would allow power to be generated at the peak operating efficiency
for the power plant, with the production facility located either remotely
(so less concern about nuclear near a city... and the ability to harvest
wind or geothermal where it is abundant...)

Each powerplant would be more profitable, because the energy usage could be
maintained to almost constant. Also, they would have much less dependence
on expensive emergency energy production.
