China starts huge project to beam power from space

The video discusses a project to deploy mile-long solar panels in space by 2035 to beam energy back to Earth. It explains the process of converting solar energy into electrical energy using a space station, and then transmitting it to Earth via microwaves or lasers. The project, led by China, aims to have a functioning solar energy station by 2030 and a fully operational one by 2050, producing as much power as a large nuclear reactor. Space-based solar systems are more efficient due to constant sunlight and no atmospheric interference.
