Orbiting solar power plant to provide energy

California is the economic engine of the US, and it is no surprise that yet another startup from Los Angeles County, California, has come up with the idea of selling energy harvested from the sun to users. This sounds normal, but it is literally an out-of-this-world plan, since it will provide the juice harvested from solar energy that is captured by solar panels which will orbit the planet. Plans for this idea are still under the theoretical stage and have yet to give birth fully, although they have targeted 2015 as the release date. Known as the Solaren project, electromagnetic waves will be used to transmit power to a receiving station back on earth, where the latter is located in Fresno County, California. Boffins expect the Solaren project to deliver up to 1,700 gigawatt-hours annually.
