gollark: Combining the totally economical launch costs and probably loss of power to transmission of orbital solar with the wide public acceptance of nuclear power!
gollark: Bad idea #12589172598: orbital nuclear power plants.
gollark: Nuclear fission is pretty great too. We should do more of that.
gollark: I mean, orbital launch is not cheap, though in space you benefit from the shorter nights.
gollark: As of now, wouldn't it probably be better to just find some abandoned desert, stick a lot of solar panels there, and somehow run power cables back to somewhere useful?
