I dont think this makes much sense - even if the fundamental premise (sending solar energy under thousands of kilometers at massive initial and maintenance costs) had immediate economic merit, there are closer places like Australia.
Even then, the fundamental benefit of solar energy is it's distributed nature. With something like nuclear power, however, there might be more use...
- syntheticcorp 5y agoAustralia already has a plan for this in the works to supply Singapore with solar from the outback. It’s called Sun Cable - see: https://suncable.sg/ https://suncable.sg/
- hjnilsson 5y agoI believe the purpose of this is to generate solar power at night. Australia won’t help China there since it is in a nearby timezone.
