Biden government surprised: plan for massive expansion of solar energy in the USA
The White House on Wednesday presented a study that by 2050 the United States could generate almost half of its electricity from solar power. The US Department of Energy (DOE) created the Solar Futures Study and gives the solar industry a bright perspective.
US President Biden is banking on the restructuring of the energy industry in the USA and has presented a study that shows that solar power generation can be increased tenfold over the next 15 years. In addition to climate protection, the creation of new jobs is on the agenda for US President Biden ...

Wikipedia
solar energy
Solar energy is the energy of solar radiation that can be used technically in the form of electrical current, heat or chemical energy. Solar radiation is the electromagnetic radiation that arises on the solar surface as black body radiation due to its temperature of approx. 5500 ° C, which is ultimately due to nuclear fusion processes in the sun's interior (hydrogen burning).
Solar energy can be used both directly (e.g. with photovoltaic systems or solar collectors) and indirectly (e.g. by means of hydropower plants, wind turbines and in the form of biomass) ...

Space-based solar energy
Space-based solar power (SBSP) is a proposed method to collect solar energy in space and transfer it to the earth.
A significant part of the incoming solar radiation (55–60%) is lost on its way through the earth's atmosphere through effects such as reflection and absorption. Space-based solar power systems would convert sunlight outside of the atmosphere into microwaves and emit these to the earth. This would avoid the losses and - if designed appropriately - the downtime caused by the earth's rotation, but with extremely high capital expenditures for the transport of material into orbit. Orbital solar power plants are considered a form of renewable energy. Various concepts have been discussed since the early 1970s, but none of them make economic sense with today's launch vehicles, mainly because ground-based power plants generate electricity at a fraction of the cost. All designs work with radiation energy densities that would not be harmful if people were exposed for a short period of time. The enormous size of the receiving antennas required would, however, require large, flat (ie mostly agricultural) areas in the vicinity of the end consumer.
As of 2020, studies and experiments on the feasibility of such projects are being actively carried out by Japan, China and the USA, among others, in Japan because of the rejection of nuclear power plants in broad sections of the population, in China and the USA because of long-term strategic considerations, especially by the military ...
