With a single solar array ~100km wide in space we could generate as much power as the whole of humanity combined currently uses. (barely visible when you zoom out) 99% of long term future energy growth will be space solar.

Every AI datacenter on earth combined could be powered by a single 11km by 11km solar array in orbit. That’s ~20x less solar than what was installed on earth in 2025 alone. Space solar is efficient

🚨 CHINA IS RACING TO BUILD A SPACE SOLAR POWER PLANT THAT COULD BEAM ELECTRICITY FROM ORBIT TO EARTH. Scientists at Xidian University have successfully tested a ground-based system that can wirelessly transmit kilowatt-level power over 100 meters using microwaves. Their ultimate goal is far more ambitious: placing large solar power stations in geostationary orbit (36,000 km up), where sunlight is available 24/7 with no weather or atmosphere blocking it. The project, called Zhuri (“chasing the sun”), uses mirrors to concentrate sunlight onto solar panels, converts the electricity into microwaves, and beams it down to a receiving antenna (rectenna) on Earth. Why this matters: • In space, solar energy is up to 6 times more efficient than on Earth because there’s no night, clouds, or atmospheric filtering • A single large space solar station could theoretically generate gigawatts of continuous clean power enough for millions of homes • The team has already proven the system can beam power to multiple moving targets at once • China is now among the world leaders in this technology, alongside the US and Japan The deeper implication: Space-based solar power has been a dream for decades because it could provide truly baseload renewable energy. While the technical and financial challenges are enormous (building massive structures in orbit, precise microwave beaming, and safety), steady progress like this brings the concept closer to reality. If successful, it could fundamentally change how humanity generates and distributes energy moving power collection off the planet entirely. Near-term applications could include wirelessly charging satellites or powering future lunar bases. Do you think space-based solar power will become a major energy source in the coming decades, or will it stay too expensive and complex? Follow for more frontier energy and space technology developments.

SpaceX is becoming one of the biggest solar-power operators in space. Gen 1 Starlink: ~10 MW in orbit. Gen 2: ~100 MW. Gen 3: targeting ~1,000 MW. That's roughly a 10x jump every satellite generation. Most people think of Starlink as an internet network. Meanwhile, thousands of satellites are turning orbit into a rapidly growing solar-power grid. SpaceX Starlink

One day, our lives will look like this. Rockets flying to space like planes in the air. A trip to Mars will be the equivalent of a trip across the country. Flying cars will be the norm. Tesla will be our governing body. Earth will just be one of many planet destinations in our solar system. The future should look like the future!

During Ustad Noor Bakhsh’s performance in Düsseldorf, women asked for space to be made so that we could dance too because dudes were hogging all the space. We love our music just as much if not more, and we were also more in sync. The power of our folk music. 💕

ELON MUSK: The future of AI data centers is space and sooner than you’d think. Mark my words… in 36 months the most economically compelling place to put AI will be space. JENSEN HUANG: The amount of energy that we need for computing is probably 1,000x more than we currently have. JEFF BEZOS: The idea of data centers in space is very realistic. Data centers in space will happen. SAM ALTMAN: No. —— Sam Altman is getting too comfortable after taking OpenAI from Elon, forgetting that in the end, the ones who control the infrastructure, data centers and energy, will decide the future of AI.

This year marks the 20th anniversary of the Halloween Solar Storms of 2003. This was a period of exceptional high solar activity during Solar Cycle 23 including the strongest solar flare recorded in modern history peaking between X28 and X45. There were also many earth-directed coronal mass ejections which caused multiple G5 geomagnetic storms. Aurora displays were visible as far south as Texas in the USA and Spain in Europe. 10 year ago we made a YouTube special about these events. Well worth a look if you haven't seen it yet!

A giant 'solar power bank' hidden in Gobi Desert, NW China's Xinjiang Can a solar power plant still generate electricity after the sun goes down? In Hami, northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, rows of linear Fresnel reflectors track the sun, concentrating sunlight into thermal energy and storing it using molten salt. When night falls, this stored heat can be released to continue generating electricity, functioning just like a giant power bank for sunlight. The integrated project, combining concentrated solar power (CSP) and photovoltaic (PV) technology, has a total capacity of 1 million kilowatts (kW). It consists of a 900,000-kW PV power station and a 100,000-kW linear Fresnel molten salt CSP plant, whose solar field covers approximately 800,000 square meters. From tracking sunlight and storing heat to generating power, solar energy is transcending the boundaries of day and night in the Gobi Desert.

As scientists prepare for the total solar eclipse set to cross Greenland, Iceland, and Spain on August 12, 2026, NASA has announced a specialized scientific campaign to study the Sun's atmosphere. The space agency will deploy specialized WB-57 high-altitude research aircraft flying at 50,000 feet directly along the path of totality. Equipped with high-speed visible and infrared cameras, the aircraft will chase the Moon’s shadow to extend scientific viewing time of the solar corona to nearly three minutes. Flying above Earth's lower atmosphere allows researchers to capture infrared data normally blocked by moisture, aiding ongoing studies into solar atmospheric heating and solar wind dynamics.

What a sad sight on the same road I grew up on outside of Altamont, NY. Another solar complex going in on prime farmland and wildlife habitat, adjacent to a Wildlife Management Area (that seems to be their favorite). As the locals refer to this location: “one of the prettiest views on the whole hill.” You’re looking at dozens of acres of tracker frames, getting ready to support Chinese-manufactured solar panels that will only generate at 12-15% of their annual potential in our climate. The power won’t stay local or lower anyone’s bills in the area. In fact, taxes will go up as the municipality struggles to make up for the property tax this land was previously paying before being destroyed for a solar industrial complex.

🇨🇳 NEW: Move over, bottled water - China's new solar tech just made desalination cheaper. ✅ Chinese researchers have developed a photothermal material that weaves nanoparticles into a 3D evaporation structure, dramatically boosting solar desalination efficiency. ✅ The breakthrough absorbs 90.2% of solar energy while slashing energy consumption by 45.7%. ✅ In year-long outdoor trials, the prototype ran entirely on sunlight—no grid power, no fossil fuels—and successfully irrigated five square meters of farmland through a full growth cycle. Zero energy costs. Zero emissions. Just the sun. ✅ The cost of producing fresh water is already below the price of bottled water—and the advantage only grows with scale.
