I think after two we would probably be able to make our own fusion reactors of whatever size desired. This would avoid having to waste precious terrestrial area or deal with space power transmission.
- ben_w 6y agoThe origin of the power isn’t the only thing that forces you to make this choice. If fusion (or anything else) adds four orders of magnitude (~200 PW) of new power at ground level, the new global average blackbody equilibrium temperature would increase from about +15 C to about +70 C.
