What if instead of a pipe to return the steam we use a freaking laser beam!

treadful@lemmy.zip 3 days agoI’m curious if it would even be thermodynamically possible. If we could magically run a pipe that far, would the heat from the water radiate into space before it reached earth to do anything useful?
Someone get XKCD to do a video short on this.

So we generate energy with boiling water next to the sun, and we send the energy back to earth as a laser beam.
Guess how we turn the laser beam back into energy.

i imagine filling any sized pipe to 1au would use most of the water on earth.
