An interest idea came over me a few days:
future after space elevators/space settlement are
common). The teather's end could become a space
settlement (Standford torus). A solar power stattlite
(SPS) would be adapted to fit into between the torus
and elevator shaft.
I am not sure if it is feastable, but if it is, then
it would have the advantage of being haveing workers
present 24/7 to repair the elevator/pow sat. But there
also the problem of an elevator failure...
Just a thought.
