Solar Energy Summary

It might be an idea to summarise the *Solar Energy category in Pharoz and put some of these posts into the Becrux (Mimosa) blog with links to the relevant Pharoz posts.The basic categories would be something like:

1. Energy efficiency at a network level
2. Storage of electrical energy
3. Transport of electrical energy
4. Fixing electrical energy
5. Transverse horizontal axis wind turbines THAWTs
6. Transition from coal power to renewables (system wide)
7. Carbon dioxide – Removal, transformation and disposal of CO2
8. Applying usable kinetic energy to spacecraft through remote lasers

There is a separate post for each of the broad categories above with links to the relevant Pharoz posts. The more readily achievable ideas will be put in the Becrux blog while the more hypothetical will be kept in Pharoz. In the list above the topics in lines 1, 4, 5, 6 and 7 are immediately realistic, while those topics in lines 2, 3 and 8 are more futuristic. The topics in lines 2, 3 and 8 above work with each other as a system – all three would have to be realised to start up large volume space travel. Whether this is achievable now is a mute point. First you have to be able to imagine what you need to do.
