Japan plans to turn the moon into one huge solar power plant ever since the disaster at fukushima nuclear power plant japan has been looking to alternatives to nuclear power for their energy needs.
Their ambitious plan involves building a belt of solar cells around the moon s 6 800 mile 11 000 kilometer equator converting the electricity to powerful microwaves and lasers to be beamed at earth and finally converting the beams back to electricity at terrestrial power stations.
Simply build a band of solar panels 400 kilometers 249 miles wide pdf running all the way around.
One japanese company shimizu already has that covered.
