''Bond-style'' solar power station to beam electricity from space,
A quarter of Britain''s electricity could be beamed from space with a “Bond-style” floating solar power station, the Energy Secretary has said.
Space-based solar power
Space-based solar power (SBSP or SSP) is the concept of collecting solar power in outer space with solar power satellites (SPS) and distributing it to Earth.

• 1941: Isaac Asimov published the science fiction short story "Reason," in which a space station transmits energy collected from the sun to various planets using microwave beams. "Reason" was published in the "Astounding Science Fiction" magazine.• 1968: Peter Glaser introduces the concept of a "solar power satellite" system with square miles of solar collectors in high geosynchronous orbit for collection and conversion of sun''s energy into a microwave beam to tran
