"Turning Asimov's Space Solar Power Vision into Reality"

Space agencies are pursuing the practical concept of harvesting solar power from space, which could potentially solve Earth's energy crisis. Building a solar power station in space would allow for continuous energy collection without the need for bulky batteries, and the power could be sent directly to where it's needed most. While there are technological and infrastructure challenges, international cooperation and ongoing research are making this concept closer to reality, with the possibility of a demonstration system within five years and practical use by the mid-2030s.
