If we had a Dyson sphere, people would no doubt be fighting over control of it. One example of the preliminary stages of this is the fighting that takes place over the orbital elevator systems in Mobile Suit Gundam 00.

- w1ntermute 15y agoYeah, the orbital elevators are multipurpose (i.e., to provide a more convenient launching point for spacecraft), but one of their primary goals is to provide electricity. And thus they are closely guarded by the 3 main power blocs (the Union, AEU, and Jinkakuren). Without energy, they are nothing, as can be seen from the countries that aren't a part of one of them and thus live in great poverty.
