Does beaming power to earth change the energy in the system? At least with solar all energy was already being absorbed by the earth's atmosphere, just being converted to another form and ultimately back to heat. By beaming energy that would not otherwise have passed through the atmosphere we are effectively warming the planet. Though I've no idea if the number is material or not.
