“Again, not efficient. Mega power batteries weigh to much, so the power to lift and drop them will defeat the level of net power from them.”

You don’t have to lift them in outer space. They’re weightless, and can be constructed in outer space, perhaps even with raw materials mined there. To get them back to earth requires parachutes and insulation, and a decent guidance system.

“Yes. There is. _Its the latest newest smart safe small modular nuclear power systems. With mass prodution on the scale of the Manhattan Project plus WWII style “warp speed”, there is no need for wind or mass solar arrays...

So fine. Develop and produce that, too. Multiple alternatives should be tried, including celestial solar power collection, and different methods of delivering it.

The only problem with “risky schemes” are that there aren’t enough of them, or that they’re poorly thought out and planned.

Sit back in front of your TV and watch Meet the Robinsons, the only decent Disney film recently made. It’ll freshen your outlook on life and science, the latter of which you obviously know a great deal about. It’s your overly cautious attitude that bothers me.

Sorry, the difference between visionary and fanciful is one has enough knowledge to be possibly practical and the other does not.
