New Power Source by MattF1
It wont allow me to place any more signs, so i'll put more info here: The receivers on Earth will be carefully positioned to have the most efficient and cost effective setup, and the microwave beaming system will be carefully aimed.

Very good idea! -

this sounds as if Philip K Dick wrote it XD Good idea,but the Ozonosphere is intended to stop microwaves and UV/beta radiation... how would the beam get through it? Awesome,still... never thought of it :) +1 -

sounds lika gr8 idea, but i've found 2 problems... 1. the atmosphere of the earth would probably make the beam weaker. 2 if the solar panels is placed on the side of the moon that never faces the earth, the beam would never reach the earth without one or more satelite or something like that to make sure that the beam gets to Earth, but that could be fixed by placing them on the poles. but still it's a good idea +1 -

To presumbably solve the problem of microwave rays unable to get to Earth because the moon may get between the Earth and the Sun, relays may be available. But there's a problem: How would we control the relays? And a number of stuff.... -

Really nice idea, but remember that Earth has its atmosphere. This can make the microwave beam weaker as passing through it. +1 -

One side of the moon always faces the Earth and one always faces away from the Earth, but both sides get equal sunlight. (Just pointing out, I'm a longtime astronomy fanatic; I know this stuff.) The moon does, however, have no atmosphere and thus no Reyleigh light scattering; solar panels there would get much more light than they do here, so the idea still makes a lot of sense, so +1. You should just fix the facts... -

your very imaginitave, and the more i think about it, the more possible it seems. so this is cool -
MattF1 10th Nov 2012I've just thought of an interesting problem. If the microwave beam is aimed incorrectly, it could cause serious damage and maybe even kill people. But houses could be shielded against microwave radiation to prevent this.

Well, its possible, just you would have to make regular trips to get food and such to Earth. BEcause you cant have plants on the moon unless its in a greenhouse. And do you know how much money this would cost.
