Comment on Solar panels in space could cut Europe's renewable energy needs by 80%

Fusion would be much more practical than beaming back power from space. I think the chance of seeing either of those by 2050 is about 0%.

Fusion does not exist and wouldn’t be in time if we started buildong commercial plants today. Low lead time is the only shot we have.
Space based solar has already been demonstrated, but will not provide substantial power since the receiver is basically a giant solar array and dead zone where life gets toasted.
