I could see that working from the top down - ie. something in space beaming power "down" to a plane. Going from the ground up seems like it could be a little risky, nuking other planes, passing birds etc.
Having said that, a Goldeneye-type setup is also a little risky I guess.
- elihu 4y agoI would think it's the other way around: beaming power up, you're less likely to hit people and buildings and terrestrial animals. You'd just hit birds and potentially planes and satellites, but planes and satellites can be tracked so you can shut off power if they're too close.
